Gee, I Wish I'd Thought Of That

AP:

In its latest move to broaden its iPod and iTunes franchises, Apple Computer Inc. has introduced "iTunes U," a nationwide expansion of a service that makes course lectures and other educational materials accessible via Apple's iTunes software.

The company behind the iPod portable players, the iTunes online music store and
Macintosh computers had been working with six universities on the pilot project for more than a year and expanded the educational program this week, inviting other universities to sign up.

Internet access to college lectures is nothing new, but listening to them on portable gadgets is a more recent phenomenon of the digital age, spurred in part by the popularity of podcasts, or downloadable audio files.

Speaking of which, I've got 2 college lectures and a corporate class to record today.  Probably no blogging until late.

I've just recently started recording my lectures and making them available online to my students. When you record yours, what type of classes (meaning delivery method) are they for and how do you get them to students?
