Duke University iPod

This article was very interesting. Duke University gave everyone of the freshmen class an iPod for this experiment at no charge. Apprently it was a great success. Many of the students used their iPod to record lectures and keep up with exam dates. This helped many students do better with their studies.
The iPods were also used as alarm clocks. When living in dorms the noise complaints were down because alot of the students used their iPods instead of loud radios. Also on trips with sports teams students would let other students listen to their iPods and this opened up communication between other people. The row team also used the iPod to record the calls durning practice. They also kept track of their records from races. Students also used the iPod as a back up disk for their computers.
