Multimedia Friday: University of California Television on the Web

More and more universities are taking advantage of the internet to create their own mini TV networks on the web with streaming video. The University of California may have one of the most extensive catalogues of new videos covering events, lectures, and special made-for-the-web video programming as it covers all of the campuses within the UC system - and they all can be found on the UCTV website. Featured online video programs include State of Minds, a professionally produced 30-minute news magazine covers news and people from all of the UC campuses. The Teacher's P.E.T., airing Monday through Thursdays at 4 PM Pacific time, presents the latest news on research and education for grade school teachers and is divided into subcategories, such as science and history. The Med Ed Hour, which airs every week on Tuesday though Thursday at noon Pacific Time, covers news in medicine and health care for medical professionals. Professionals can even earn continuing education credits by watching some of the MedEd programs. Best of all, all of the videos are available as downloadable podcasts for your iPod.
