Mentioned earlier on this blog, Classcaster is a blogging service with podcast facilities built in. Using a cell phone as a microphone, instructors can call in a lecture and it’s automatically posted to their blog and an enclosure is generated in the appropriate RSS feed. A white paper describing the application characterizes the sound quality as “good enough.” According to the white paper, the developers are planning to make the entire application available for free download for those who want to host it themselves. As of yet, there’s no word as to native support for tracking information about downloads, subscriptions, etc.
