Inside Islam: Dialogues and Debates [iTunes]

http://insideislam.wisc.edu/

Under the banner of "Challenging Misconceptions, Illuminating Diversity", the University of Wisconsin-Madison's National Resource Centers and Wisconsin Public Radio's Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders have created this very thoughtful and probing website. The site contains links to the various broadcasts of Inside Islam from Wisconsin Public Radio, a weblog, a set of helpful external links, and a link that allows visitors to sign up for their RSS feed. Visitors can view previous weblogs by category, or they just scroll down the site at their leisure. The radio program is also quite good, and visitors would do well to start by listening to "Young Muslims and New Media" or "Women and Sharia". Finally, there's also a place for visitors to offer their own feedback on their weblog posts and the radio program. [KMG] Scout Report

Posted by Celia Walter | 5 Jun, 2008
The University College London (UCL), has launched an iTunes channel on which they will broadcast free lectures, seminars, interviews, and other news for download. According to The Guardian, UCL is the first mainstream UK university to make audio and video content available on iTunes U.

A UCL statement said: “UCL on iTunes U [will] enhance the university’s provision of information and extend its reach to new audiences around the world. It will also enhance learning and teaching, developing innovation through new technology and meeting the needs of today’s techno-literate students.”
