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!"
All this iPod news is getting me depressed. First I got shafted by buying a 3rd generation one only weeks before the 4th generation is released, for cheaper and better.
Then I find out that all the Duke freshmen are getting free ones.
Bummer. Maybe I should apply to Duke next year.
In unrelated news, tuition is up $399 this year.

...Slashdotters would be crying foul saying M$ is strengthening its monopoly. This action will definately be sighted by M$ in the future.
haha!
arithmetic is one of the few math-related skills that most people will use at various points in their careers. most folks won't have to use calculus or any more advanced maths. but arithmatic? i do some arithmatic every day. and no, i'm not an engineer.
or was that a joke, and i'm just being a spaz?
