However, Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Ga. have been practical in creating more versatile uses of the iPod on their campus. They have organized a group of faculty to invent new uses for the available iPod technology.

Some professors have replaced office hours with a podcast of the week’s most frequently asked questions.
