Podcast.iu.edu streamed its way onto the Indiana University campus last week.
The Feb. 4 launch date brought a total of 47 podcasts and 507 episodes to the new Web site, which is a portal for all IU podcast content.
Elizabeth Van Gordon, director of Learning Technology Operations and chief information officer at IU Northwest, said these numbers are increasing daily. Within the first week, the portal received about 2,300 hits.
“We have gone from a scarcity of technology to a digital fire hose,” said IU Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Brad Wheeler. “We need a way to find things. Podcast.iu.edu is a simple URL, a simple gateway.”
The podcast portal includes a variety of content such as virtual museum tours, news headlines, music, recreational sports information and technology help.
