Yale University has introduced an official podcast, the Yale Podcast that features lectures and speeches given at the University by professors, alumni and other notable guest speakers.

According to Yale spokeswoman Helaine Klasky, the podcast has received over 50,000 hits in its first week This shows the usage and popularity.

Klasky later says that “For all the lectures, it is important that they stand alone - it is never necessary to follow a series in order to appreciate a single recording.”

I see all third level institutions provide podcasting, to support there students learning as they slowly recognize the need of digital natives. I think with continued usage, institutions will recognize the ability to podcast there content is very achievable and ultimately very appealing for students learning
