Ipods Not Too Cool for School - Sophie Barth, BYU NewsNet
In addition to entertainment, Ipods are beginning to be used at more universities to proved lectures and supplementary material. The most visible connection between students' heads and their book-laden backpacks is a white cord and two circular headphones. At some universities, this connection is becoming less melodious and more studious. Apple is jumping the divide between entertainment and education with a new program that allows universities to provide lectures and supplementary course material in MP3 format. Though BYU has not joined, Stanford University, UC-Berkeley, Duke and others have subscribed to Apple's new iTunes U program. Students and faculty at these universities can access lectures, guest speakers, tutorial sessions and study guides.
