The uses of iPods at Duke are very convenient for both instructors and students. It allows them to get away from physical materials and focus on something interesting and fun. Instructors found it easier for instruction as with small group activities and discussions. The iPods also enhanced support for individual learning preferences and needs.
Although the iPods has its advantages, Duke did however, face problems. There were challenges in systems for storage content, sharing and distribution with one another, and difficulties in finding commerical sources. There was lack of knowledge of the iPod and its contents from faculty and students. Also, recordings were not of sufficient quality for academic contexts.
As a teacher, I think the use if iPods would be very useful. They could be used anywhere in the classroom and the students wouldn't have to depend on the library. Also, it would make instruction easier and allow students participate in a fun and exciting way.
