Top 10 YouTube Videos Posted by Colleges, and What They Mean - Wired Campus More than 400 colleges and universities have set up channels on YouTube as part of the YouTube EDU section of the popular video site, but university officials admit they are still experimenting with the service and learning what types of videos resonate with off-campus audiences. With data provided by YouTube, The Chronicle has determined the 10 most popular videos on YouTube EDU of the 2010-11 academic year (from June 2010 to June 2011). Some college officials stress that popularity is not always their main goal—because many colleges upload lectures and study materials designed for those enrolled in the courses. Still, the list gives a sense of the variety of videos colleges post and their impact. Star-studded commencement speeches seem to be the best way for colleges to draw viewers. But the biggest hit of the year focused on a graduating student rather than a star speaker. Robotics videos were also crowd pleasers this year. No traditional lectures made the list.
