iPods Increasingly Used as Educational Tools

The New York Times posted an article about how students are increasingly turning to their iPods for help with lectures:

“These days, students who miss an important point the first time have a second chance. After class, they can pipe the lecture to their laptops or MP3 players and hear it again while looking at the slides that illustrate the talk.”

At least two companies now sell software to universities and other institutions that captures the words of classroom lectures and syncs them with the digital images used during the talk — usually PowerPoint slides and animations, according to the report.
