Lecture Capture Software Lets Students Play Back Sessions on iPods
The Sunday New York Times story What Did the Professor Say? Check Your iPod covers new software programs which are enabling colleges and universities to record classroom lectures and automatically sync them up with the PowerPoint slides and other digital images used during the lecture.
Students can download these files to play on their iPods on the commute home and they can search these digitized lectures by keywords to jump into the lecture at a point of interest. The University of Central Florida uses one of these programs from the Tegrity company to capture all the sessions of 300 of their classes per year. Fees for these programs range in cost from $10,000 up to $100,000.
