Duke To Continue To Utilize Apple iPods For Educational Use

Following a preliminary review of its year-long effort to incorporate Apple iPods into the curriculum, Duke University will continue distributing the devices to students next year, although in a more targeted manner, while also exploring other educational applications of multimedia technologies, school officials announced Wednesday.

Last fall, the university distributed about1,600 iPods pre-loaded with orientation material to all incoming first-year students. Next year, Duke will shift distribution away from an entire class of students and will focus instead on making the devices available to specific courses upon the request of faculty members at all undergraduate levels.
