YouTube is now an important teaching tool at UC Berkeley.

The school announced on Wednesday that it has begun posting entire course
lectures on the Web's No.1 video-sharing site.

Berkeley officials claimed in a statement that the university is the first
to make full course lectures available on YouTube. The school said that over
300 hours of videotaped courses will be available at youtube.com/ucberkeley.

Berkeley said it will continue to expand the offering. The topics of study
found on YouTube included chemistry, physics, biology and even a lecture on
search-engine technology given in 2005 by Google cofounder Sergey Brin.

"UC Berkeley on YouTube will provide a public window into university life,
academics, events and athletics, which will build on our rich tradition of
open educational content for the larger community," said Christina Maslach,
UC Berkeley's vice provost for undergraduate education in a statement.
