Professors adapt to students' needs with electronic extras - TMC Net
Eight years ago, Paul Buis put a small digital recorder in his right shirt pocket, hit play and began lecturing his class. When he finished, the Ball State University associate professor of computer science took the recording and uploaded it into his computer, compressing the file to conserve hard drive space. He then uploaded the file to his Web site and sent an e-mail to students notifying them the day's lecture was ready. The students downloaded the file over their dial-up Internet connections -- allowing them to hear the professor speak from the comfort of their homes as they reviewed the material.
