A series of educational podcasts made by media experts at Birmingham City University has been given a global showcase on iTunes.
The ‘Interactive Cultures’ series of audio podcasts has been posted on iTunes U homepage and sits alongside items from the University of Oxford and The Open University.
Birmingham City University’s work, which includes features on contemporary cultural experiences in Birmingham as well as the city’s social and musical history has been selected by experts at Apple computers who scan the iTunes U content for podcasts that have relevance to a worldwide audience.
‘Interactive Cultures‘ brings together senior academics from the Birmingham School of Media involved in projects looking at how communities are created through social media.
“I am delighted that our staff are being recognised in the global arena for their leadership in understanding the changes that new and emerging media platforms are having on creative communities,” said Philip Thickett, Head of the Birmingham School of Media.
This success came just over a week after Birmingham City University launched its presence on iTunes U.
