DAYTON — University of Dayton senior Jessica Porco has found a way to break up the boredom on the drive to her parents' Cincinnati home and, at the same time, prepare for upcoming tests — she listens to classroom lectures downloaded onto her iPod music player.
"I use the iPod pretty much the whole way (between cities) anyway," she said. "It's just the convenience of being able to turn it on whenever, wherever you like," even while exercising or eating.
Legions of college students like Porco are discovering the convenience of iTunes U, the cyber campus of Apple's popular online music and video store, where free lectures on Shakespeare and Kierkegaard are just a few clicks away from songs for sale by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.
"It really gives students another way of learning that matches their lifestyle," said David J. Wright, UD's director of E-learning.
