| Researchers and developers at the University of California, Berkeley are

| classroom lectures to media services like iTunes and YouTube. The university
| already publishes full-length videos of classroom sessions on YouTube, but
| recording, editing, and posting these videos is an costly undertaking. Now,
| new grant money will pay those expenses and help expand video distribution
| worldwide.
