EDUCATION: TECHNOLOGY: iPod Goes to the College Classroom in Beta
Missourian News January 26, 2006 MU Joins Other Colleges to Test ITunes U Service By RACHEL KAUFMAN <http://digmo.org/news/story.php?ID=18019> MU students walking around with headphones in their ears might not be tuned to their favorite songs; they might be doing their homework. Selected students in the School of Journalism, the College of Education and the College of Arts and Science have access to iTunes U, a new service from Apple Computer that allows students to share class materials. On May 15, the service will be available to all students. Students are digital natives, said Keith Politte, development officer for the Journalism School. We seek to innovate to meet our students where they already are. MU is one of six schools invited by Apple Computers to try out the program before the national release date in May. Others are Stanford, Brown, Duke and the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin. The service uses iTunes, a free software program that many students already have on their computers. A few journalism and Spanish classes can use the technology. Politte said more students will be able to use iTunes U when classes start in the fall, but only instructors in the journalism, arts and science and education schools plan to use it. The iTunes U initiative is a natural extension of Missouris work as one of the charter members of the Apple Digital Campus, Politte said. For the past two years, MU has collaborated with Apple Computers to promote innovative ways to use technology and make learning more efficient. ---------------------------------------- The complete article may be read at the URL above.
