Case Study: UC Berkeley
Adam Hochman, Co-Manager of Webcast, University of California, Berkeley
"By implementing YouTube's Upload API in our open source lecture capture and delivery system, we are able to automatically publish and manage a much higher volume of video on YouTube than would otherwise be feasible. This gets us one step closer to achieving our vision of universal access to high quality educational content for students and lifelong learners alike."
Who They Are
UC Berkeley is the first university to make videos of full courses available through YouTube. Visitors to the site at http://www.youtube.com/ucberkeley can view more than 600 hours of videotaped courses and events. Topics range from bioengineering, to peace and conflict studies, to "Physics for Future Presidents," the title of a popular campus course. Building on its initial offerings, UC Berkeley will continue to expand the catalog of videos available on YouTube.
What They Did
Admins have a built-in YouTube upload option.
UC Berkeley captures 83 full courses, 135 special events, and generates over 3500 hours of content a year, and uses YouTube as a vehicle to provide free access to course and event video to the world. By implementing YouTube’s newest set of APIs in their open source lecture capture and delivery system, UC Berkeley have streamlined their production process and fully automated distribution of their content. Prior to the new set of APIs, UC Berkeley’s production team had to manually upload content, enter new playlists, and generate metadata. These APIs have greatly reduced the cost of managing a high volume of video on YouTube.
