Professor Smith Eyes Podcasting

In our post announcing podcasting, we wrote, "Why can't the occasional law-school lecture be a podcast?" Now Professor Gordon Smith takes the ideas a step further:

A step beyond recording lectures or class discussions for later use is to record something supplemental, something that otherwise would not be available to students. Like commentary on current events relating to the class. Or an interview with a judge or litigant or another professor. Or a discussion of scholarly literature in a certain area. Again, I am not sure this addresses a current need and students may wonder why they are doing "extra" work (using the status quo as a baseline). The jury is out on this idea.
The full post is worth a read. Check it out and tell Professor Smith what you think.
