What's New on UA's YouTube and iTunes U

| No Comments

Quite a few new videos have been added to the UA's YouTube channel and iTunes U site. Here's a look.

Steven Toyoji: Track and Road Racing is part of the Adaptive Athletics Series.

Matt Carter: Internship with Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Joseph Riesgo: Internship with Paul Jones Racing Stable, and Nikki DeBasio: Internship with Greg Fox Racing Stable are part of the RTIP videos. These three present a new theme promoting the RTIP student internship program. They are also up in the RTIP site in iTunes U in a new section.

Dr. Elliott Cheu, Professor of Physics, presentation given on Feb. 3rd for the College of Science's Science that Transforms Lecture series. The video was uploaded to the lecture series' iTunes U site and also to our YouTube channel. I don't upload that many public lectures but we've found these COS lectures are extremely popular among our invisible users and it makes sense that students looking for good content on any of these topics would find these videos useful.

One minute after first publishing this entry, Heather emailed that Vicki Chandler's Science that Transforms lecture "Next: A Great Leap for Bioresearch" was ready for uploading. I'm uploading now (3/2/09 14:44 MST) So if you're reading this after 3:30 on Monday, it is uploaded to iTunes U and being uploaded to the YouTube channel.

We have four new videos uploaded to an new site in Architecture & Landscape Architecture's iTunes U section called CALA GIS National Parks Service Lectures. These lectures feature the work of Natl Park Service's Historic Landscapes Survey (HALS) Program and will be of interest to anyone studying history or working with geographical information systems. Added to the main CALA Lecture Series is John Peterson's Feb. 13th lecture "Exploring Models of Practice." Peterson, AIA, is founder and president of Public Architecture in San Francisco, a national non-profit that recasts designers as problem-identifiers in addition to problem-solvers, mobilizing them to advance the public well-being.

Art & Identity: The Artists Lecture Series' newest video is "Artist Lecture: Daniel J. Martinez." Martinez lecture is part of CFA's Transculturations: Cultural Hybridity in American Art. On the website, it describes Martinez and his work this way: "A strategic provocateur, Daniel J. Martinez deploys the full range of available media in his practice, having used at various times text, image, sculpture, video, and performance to construct his uniquely tough-minded brand of aesthetic inquiry. Using forms of strategic engagement and illusion, Martinez employs mutation and schizophrenia as a form of confusion directed toward the precondition of the coexistence of politics as radical beauty. Ongoing themes in the work are contamination, history, nomadic power, cultural resistance, dissentience and systems of symbolicxchange."

UANews uploaded videos of the most recent Regents' Professors. I have featured three on the iTunes U main page the past week. Others can be found in the UA News Videos podcast, also found on the main page. The new Regents professors are Dr. Richard Wilkinson, Dr. Elizabeth Vierling, Dr. Howard Ochman, Dr. Paul Wilson and harpist Carol McLaughlin.

Two videos were uploaded to the LPL Evening Lecture Series. Dr. Dante Lauretta's "The Science and Exploration of Near-Earth Asteroids" and Dr. Richard Greenberg's "Unmasking Europa: The Search for Life on Jupiter's Ocean Moon."
