Faculty call iPods a success - Priyanka Kanakamedala, Duke Chronicle
When the Duke Digital Initiative kicked off in April 2005, some thought bringing iPod and podcast technology to classrooms would do little more than give students the opportunity to miss lectures and take notes from their dorm rooms. One-and-a-half years later, however, many faculty have noted higher class attendance and increased student interest in the novel devices that place the University in the next generation of learning. "The Duke Digital Initiative is proving to be a great success, with students and faculty reporting that digital media technology like the iPod has enhanced collaboration and the overall academic experience," said David Menzies, manager of news and information for the Office of Information Technology.
