Lecturers get in tune with latest tool for learning - National Grid for Learning
The latest phenomenon in broadcasting and the most recent technological fashion accessory are being used by two science lecturers at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA) to help students with their studies. Dr Andy Breen and Dr Siân Jones, physics lecturers at the institute of mathematical and physical sciences at UWA, are using MP3 technology to make voice recordings of their lectures available to their students via the internet in the form of podcasts. Once recorded, each 50-minute lecture is transformed into a 30 megabyte file which registered students can then download on to an i-Pod or other similar MP3 players from the University’s Blackboard web pages.
