Apple TV and podcasts in distance education?
I bought an Apple TV last week and got it hooked up over the weekend. I haven’t purchased movies through iTunes for it, and probably never will, but have been streaming the heck out of my music collection. I’m also looking forward to some of the features coming in the “Take 2″ version of the Apple TV software.
Last night I started looking at the high definition podcasts available through iTunes. There’s some neat stuff there–my favorite Tiki Bar TV is there in glorious 720p, as are about a half dozen others I’ve subscribed to but have yet to check out. This has gotten me thinking again about using podcasts in online video delivery–would people get more out of education via online video if they could sit in a comfortable chair or couch and watch it on a normal-sized television, rather than at a desk in a small window on a computer? I’ve got some work coming up involving online video and will play with this more.
