Students tuning into lectures via their iPod - Leicester Mercury
Students are getting hi-tech support for their studies by downloading information on iPods and MP3 players. Leicester University researchers have put together 10-minute lectures including news, updates and feedback and even subject-related jokes for classes to use. The scheme, which is unlike anything else tried before, means a condensed version of any lecture can be made available as a study aid. The pilot study - involving 30 engineering students - has proved such a success the university has now been given a GBP40,000 grant to look at expanding the idea.
