Study finds that college students learn better from podcasts than lectures

[Aaron Sumner]

Just spotted this article via Dan Pink's Twitter: 'iTunes university' better than the real thing in New Scientist. What do you think? Have any of you taken a class that provided podcast versions of lectures as an alternative to live attendance?

Thanks for sharing the article. I have introduced students to iTunes podcasts for a number of years in my Digital Imaging class and just last year I actually started using them in a full fledged assignment. I think that they are a wonderful learning tool because they adapt to the user's time frame so well. Also check out http://www.photoshopusertv.com/ sometime.
