Eaton is overseeing the adoption of the iPod and iTunes technology and is managing the technology integration process. According to Eaton, iPods, while known to the broader public principally as music playing devices, can be used to download and play back everything from lectures to movies and plays and even foreign language tutorials.
“Now [faculty] can be in two places at once; as they play podcasts of meetings, conventions, or lectures in the car or while they’re waiting at the doctor’s office,” Eaton says. “Of course, podcasts can be played on the computer too, on the university’s Blackboard® platform, but the future is mobile.”
