Free iPods for Kent students - Lucy Sherriff, the Register
Students at South Kent College in Dover are being offered free iPod Nanos to help them keep up with work. The college has forked out £25,000 for the kit which it says will be issued only to students with a full attendance record, and who have completed all their assignments. But the college also says that the plan is to podcast lectures so that students can catch up with missed material. (Anyone else struggling to reconcile those two sentences?)According to assistant principal Josh Coleman, the pilot scheme has been a great success. He explained that it had been paid for from savings made on a building project. The idea came from similar projects in Australia and the US.
