UC Berkeley is joining up with other colleges to make educational podcasting easier. Here's how they explain the educational podcasting project called OpenCast:

"UC Berkeley is developing a podcast capture, post-processing, and distribution system that will integrate current technological advancements such as Apple's Podcast Producer with existing academic community source frameworks such as Sakai."

Podcasting is certainly a useful tool for e-learners. Hopefully it will be even better when Berkeley's program is released in fall of 2008.
