The Idea: Lectures that live on.

Meedu's podcasting service provides students with download-on-demand recordings of lectures. Now, the classroom experience can be revisited as many times as the student wishes, whether during the studying process, or even years later.

And unlike the hosting services provided by Apple's iTunes U, Meedu will allow any student to download and use your podcasts - not just those who use Apple software.



The Technology: Open tools for everyone.

Unix way: build small tools and chain them together. Webcasting production suffers from the same problems you see in the Windows world: one monolithic application which tries to do too much. For over 30 years, the "unix" operating system has built itself around the idea that smaller simple tools are better. If you have a plethora of tightly defined small tools, you can chain them together in any way to do anything you want.

Most importantly, you are not limited because you only have one large tool which is rigid and inflexible. Meedu subscribes to this philosophy. We want to give you several great simple podcasting tools: bandwidth in a simple interface, management in a simple interface, production in a simple interface, and statistics in a simple interface. When you use the meedu tools, you'll understand.
