Ipods in instruction

During my search for sites talking about experiences with ipod as an instructional tool, I came across one that was very interesting. In an article from the Penn State's The Daily Collegian Online( www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/04/04-03-07tdc), it talked about how a professor and an alumnus got together and found a way to put different types of heart rhythms onto an ipod for students to listen to. The students recognition of the different rhythms went from 40 to 80 percent.
Duke University's (www.dukenews.duke.edu) experience has actually increased in it's second year. More students were found using ipods for lectures, assignments, study tools, etc. They have turned the entire program into several courses that are available year round. i hope to follow this to see where it goes in the years to come with technology and ipods changing yearly.
