Many thanks to everyone who responded to my initial question.
Andy, your question is quite pertinent. The students I was speaking with this morning wanted to know about the validity of podcasting in academia. The simple question/s where in the vein of: "how many universities use podcasting?" and "what sort of things do other universities podcast?" So I reckon there's room for sharing this type of information, even if it's mostly for the sake of getting people interested in each other's work.
Best regards...

Subject: Re: [PODCASTING] University Podcast Collection
Dear Toni,
A quick question, any idea why the students wanted this? Were they looking to find similar discipline related material to the topic they are studying that is podcasted from different institutions?
This dovetails with a conversations that we are having here, where it is perceived that academic content tends to be so specific that outside the context of the specific teaching and learning it is meaningless. Hence it doesn't transfer very well and raises the question, should we bother to develop / maintain a searchable portal for our podcasted material - assuming we ever took the plunge and went for a large scale implementation - or continue to deploy at the individual course/organisation
level through the VLEs
Cheers
Andy
