iTunes University

I just spent a little bit of time learning about iTunes University. Personally, I think the idea is genius! Using technology that students are familiar with is a great way to get them motivated to learn. It also makes it more convenient for students to continue learning outside of structured class time. I, for one, absolutely hate textbooks and outside of class assignments. However, if my assignments and class lectures were available to me on my iPod, i would be much more willing to participate in learning outside of class. If this system catches on at universities around the country, I think it will see great success.
