Marketing and all things related

Few products have changed the landscape of media as quickly as the Apple iPod. But the ubiquitous jukebox is suitable for more than music. Increasing, university professors are recording lectures as podcasts and making them available to or mandatory for their students. Some universities even outfit incoming freshman with the device. But Georgia College and State University is becoming even more aggressive. “History professor Deborah Vess asks students to download 39 films to their video-capable iPods so she doesn't have to spend class time screening the movies. Psychology professor Noland White has found a new-age answer to office hours: a podcast of the week's most asked questions.” Associated Press explains additional academic iPod applications.
