AIU Online's president was quoted as saying that he sees it as enhancement of the learning process. I could not agree more. I only wish I had that when I was going through my MBA. With Boston College jumping on board, it may become the norm. David I was reading recently that AIU Online is now using podcasts as an integral part of their education program.

A large university in North Carolina is now distributing iPods to students and using them as part of the education process. Besides making me wish i was an 18 year old freshman again, it's great to see these types of functional applications going on and from a self serving perspective, budding opportunities for content development. Retention rates for interactive learning have been proven to be higher than any other form of learning so these early-adopters are getting an added bonus - students that are more smarter-er!
