Academic video content getting more viewers on the Web
January 11th, 2008 by Samantha Earp
The Chronicle of Higher Education (CHE) reports on a new study released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project that documents Web surfing habits. Not surprisingly, video sharing sites like YouTube are seeing a strong increase in viewership, and a Pew survey found last spring that more of these folks are looking at educational content when they visit these sites. Many institutions are taking advantage of this to make content available that’s been created by and about their faculty, staff and students. Duke has done this as well - visit the Duke University News channel on YouTube to see a variety of videos about faculty research, library activities, and other information about our campus.
