Duke University Giving iPods To 1650 Freshmen

baptiste writes "Duke University has entered into an agreement with Apple to distribute iPods to all of the incoming freshmen this year - that's 1650 iPods! This agreement is part of an initiative to "encourage creative uses of technology in education and campus life" The iPods will have audio and text on them including special university content such as "faculty-provided course content, including language lessons, music, recorded lectures and audio books." Faculty will be assisted in creating new content for these devices by Duke's Center for Instructional Technology And here you thought iPods were just for music!"

A bit offtopic here, but I have to say the 3G ones appeal to me more than the 4G ones. I much prefer the no moving parts version of the scrollwheel to the new clicky one. But that's just me ;)
