UC Berkeley to use Youtube for lectures

By Matt Sun

Youtube is not only present during our downtime between classes and filler time afterwards, it has also become a learning tool for the students at UC Berkeley.

The university claimed it is the first to make full course lectures available on Youtube.

"UC Berkeley on YouTube will provide a public window into university life, academics, events and athletics, which will build on our rich tradition of open educational content for the larger community," said Christina Maslach, UC Berkeley's vice provost for undergraduate education in a statement.

So far only a few select subjects are available, however over 300 hours of lecture videos are posted by the university's youtube account: youtube.com/ucberkeley
