(2004, Dec 4). Lectures on iTunes make university classes portable. Retrieved December 6, 2007, from Los Angelos Times Web site: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/casual/stories/1104DNbusiPhoneU.1d1468f.html
Universities are beginning to post lectures on iTunes for free. Some do it to keep up pace with students, parents, and alumni while others want to spread the learning opportunities that being in college provides, sharing the ivory tower’s intellectual riches with the rest of the world.” Apple picks up the bill for storing these lectures and gains goodwill with universities and increases the demand for iPods. For many professors it’s a catch-22 because students use it as an opportunity to skip class while for others it’s a learning opportunity they’ve never had.
