So if the student won't come to class, the class may just come to the student — UK's Coventry University is broadcasting its lectures straight to the 3G handsets of its students. The lessons are filmed, whittled down into 15-minute edited segments and sent to the students' 3G phones "so they don't have to get out of bed in the mornings." My, how convenient. Think of the time we could have saved if only this had been implemented back in the Stone Ages when we were in school. Who knows, we might have actually have gotten some sleep now and then.
Cue the jealous old bastards who will rationalize some reason why learning from video is inadequate.......... now!
These kids these days. Back in 2001 when I was in college all I had to help me was a greyscale Palm Pilot, and I liked it!
all we need now are the rest of the videos of the outside world so we dont have to get out of bed..EVER!
Yeah! I'd pay for someone to live my life for me! They could call it: iLiveYourLife.
shame cov uni sux :D
Man...if this could only translate into cheaper tuition :-/
Bah, I'd be surprised if my ol' iPaq H3100 + keyboard made it with me into college...
