Duke University's use of iPods

Duke University distributed about 1600 iPods to first year students in August 2004 as an initiative to create the use of more technology in the education department. The iPods' music database and hard drive storage were widely used for academic progress. The students were able to use them to record class lectures, field studies, study support, and file storage and transfer.

Although they are very helpful, like all things, they had downfalls. Some were unable to share and transfer with one another. The recordings were not of significant quality. There was also a lack of bulk purchases.
