ipods

Duke University gave 1,650 incoming freshman a free ipod this fall as a part of an experiment they wanted to do dealing with creative academic uses for the devices.
The students will be able to use the devies to download course content, record lectures, foreign language lessons, ex.
Pretty much the object is to expand the use of information in the campus community and in the classroom as well. The school estimates this project will cost more than 500,000. The freshman will be able to keeps the ipods and there aremore ipods that upperclassman can use, but they have to return them.
