iTunes U in the Classroom: The Reality of "Cool" Technology
| Title: | iTunes U in the Classroom: The Reality of "Cool" Technology (ID: SER08046) | | Author(s): | Emily Gwynn (Agnes Scott College), Calvin Burgamy (Agnes Scott College) and Tamara Stanko (Agnes Scott College) | | Topics: | EDUCAUSE_SERC08, Instructional Technologies, iTunes, iTunesU, Learning, Podcasting | | Origin: | Southeast Regional Conferences (06/02/2008) | | Type: | Presentations and Seminars | | Abstract: | Many college students today are comfortable communicating through digital media. Simultaneously, faculty members are increasingly cognizant of the pedagogical benefits of digital technologies. This presentation will explore whether Apple's iTunes U can provide an effective way for faculty and students to produce, store, access, and distribute digital content. We will describe how faculty from the music, foreign languages, and economics departments collaborated with the Educational Technology Center to pilot iTunesU. Can this "cool" technology meet our institution's digital needs, or will this content-hungry application turn us into Looney Tunes U?
