i like it! Did i not see that somewhere? ITV is interesting, profs get a
little grupy though cuz it puts them out of work. Got the tape, who
needs the prof. Then again it could free the prof up to do other things
like research! But we ain't there yet! What of a lecture podcast (i did
a fast dig -

Yup! the problem for the prof, is the entry ticket, the current currency
for teaching, tenure and research money is the single authored peer
reviewed journal article, the more you get the better in the current
system, if you speak to a large audience like a conference the less
valued is the knowledge in the system yet the more broadly the ideas are
disseminated!go figure - the more who know the less it is worth? so a
major cultural shift in the academic merit system is required. Peer
review audio would be fun and it would be great to have the reviewers
send audio of their reviews!
