Abstract | This article takes a look at how professors are becoming the latest YouTube stars. The popularity of their appearances on YouTube and other video-sharing sites end up opening the classroom and making teaching--which once took place behind closed doors--a more public art. Web videos open a new form of public intellectualism to scholars looking to participate in an increasingly visual culture. As such, there have been several colleges that signed agreements with YouTube to give students a chance to connect with the professors and topics they are interested in. A professor at George Mason University believes that the web-video trend brings a welcome check on the teaching process. It also introduces a certain level of accountability for what happens in the classroom. (ERIC). |
