Tony Hirst has announced on his blog the availability of Open University podcasts through Boxee. Boxee is open source software that aggregates links to online media and local files into one player. Hirst suggests that the Boxee interface provides a “pleasing” experience from viewers, giving an advantage over simply subscribing to the feed. From the blog post:
Launching the application takes you to an OU podcasts browser that is organised along similar lines to the OU’s Youtube presence, that is, in terms of OU Learn, OU Research and OU Life content. The Featured content area also provides a mechanism for pushing editorially selected content to higher prominence.
