Yesterday, YouTube EDU home to video of lectures and other university campus events from a series of presentations about the Semantic Web at the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism to Chemistry 1A - Lecture 23 at UC Berkeley.
Material is from schools around the globe. In no time, we found content from Australia, Canada, Italy, Israel, UK, and U.S. Several more countries and schools are listed further down on this page.
YouTube EDU contains content from two aggregators of lectures and other programming. The first, UChannel and the second, Research Channel.
Also, on the YouTube EDU Home Page, a search box labeled, "Search YouTube EDU," it limits your search to only YouTube EDU material (titles, school names abstracts, etc.) It has the potential to be a real time saver. Also, with YouTube enabling experimental transcriptions, closed captioning is available for many programs. Quality varies, of course. "...auto-translation to videos spoken in English. In just a few clicks, you can generate captions and translate courses into one of 50 different languages."
We have tripled our partner base to over 300 universities and colleges, including University of Cambridge, Yale, Stanford, MIT, University of Chicago and The Indian Institutes of Technology. We have grown to include university courses in seven languages across 10 countries. We now have over 350 full courses, a 75% increase from a year ago and thousands of aspiring students have viewed EDU videos tens of millions of times. And today, the EDU video library stands at over 65,000 videos.
Finally, the Intute Blog has a excellent post by Paul Ayres. where he goes back to the original Intute Blog post a year ago and looks at the service then and now. Ayers concludes by writing, YouTube EDU is here to stay after a pretty impressive debut year." We completely agree.
