Apple's Podcasting Server for Education

Email This Entry

Posted by Nicole Simon

Apple promotes a "Podcasting Server" on their website to publish learning content to student's iPods:

From course content and supplemental materials for students to professional development offerings for educators, educational institutions are automatically adding content to iPods. Using podcasts to produce and distribute this content means students, parents and educators can experience learning everywhere. And the cornerstone of this podcasting system is the Apple Podcasting Server
They also have two documents available on how to produce a podcast and how to set up the server for podcasting (Podcast Creation Guide and Podcast Backbone Guide)

The creation guide covers just some basics, but the backbone guide allows admins of those kind of servers to really set up podcasting for the education server. It is no wonder that Apple tries to push podcasting, because it could increase sales of mobile mp3 players if universities and other educational outlets convince their students to use an iPod for studying.
