Overview of Duke's experiment with iPods (the university gave one to every student last year) with some frank admissions that they weren't well used combined with some interesting observations on their use. Two things stood out: this fair statement of education's role in a student's media mix: "It's holding 90 percent music and 10 percent course content, no question, but I'm so grateful for that 10 percent." And this non-regulation use of iPods: "Students can also communicate with one another through "podcasting," the newest type of blogging in the form of audio files."
