Podcasting
 What is podcasting?
Podcasting is a term used to describe a group of technologies for distributing audio or video programs over the Internet using a publisher/subscriber model.
This technology is best used in a situation where you want users to elect to receive an ongoing series of published audio or video files.
If you are more interested in simply posting audio/video files to the web or streaming audio/video for these reasons, please check DukeStream to see if it provides resources to better fill your need.

 What podcasting resources are currently available at Duke University?
Duke is participating in Apple's pilot program, iTunes U.
This program allows iPod courses and qualifying academic departments to place audio and video content into a special segment of the iTunes music store for easy retrieval and attractive display. If you are interested in taking part in this extended pilot, please visit the iTunes U administrator page and follow the "getting started" steps. You can view the Duke iTunes U site at itunes.duke.edu . Entering iTunes U requires that you have iTunes installed.
OIT and DMS maintain a self-serve soundbooth at the American Tobacco Campus.
