Southern Cal Hops on YouTube

How long will it be before every American research university has its own YouTube channel? The video-sharing site certainly seems to be attracting a lot of attention from academe, and for good reason.

The University of California at Berkeley unveiled its YouTube channel earlier this month, and the site has gotten off to a very promising start: More than 650,000 Web surfers have stopped by, and over 6,000 of them have subscribed to the channel.

Now the University of Southern California has created its own YouTube channel. The institution has already posted more than 200 videos, including course lectures, clips from a film festival, and a performance by a student jazz group. And seven schools at USC — including the School of Cinematic Arts and the Marshall School of Business — have already set up sub-channels to which users can subscribe. —Brock Read
