There's a professor in your iPod - SIMON AVERY, Globe and Mail
It's Monday morning and professor Robert Burk is standing in front of the 490 students in his first-year chemistry course. “Today we're going to do some more work on gases,” he says, before diving into a discussion on the effect of pressure and temperature on equilibria. Although he just gave the lecture in his classroom at Carleton University in Ottawa, this particular version is viewable almost anywhere, courtesy of iTunes, Apple Computer Inc.'s digital content website that sells music and video for the portable iPod device. Carleton says it is the first university in the world to offer an entire course of video-recorded lectures through iTunes, for playback on iPods, cellphones, Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Portable and the common personal computer.
