  1. Podcasting Benefits from a Duke University Student:

    Podcasting has been used primarily
    for disseminating recorded lectures
    and discussions.

    In the report, one
    Duke University student remarked,
    "I loved being able to listen to
    the lectures at my convenience,
    to be able to listen to difficult
    portions several times, and just
    hear the material again—while
    working out, or running other
    errands—and I think the value
    of listening to the lectures showed
    through with a high score on the
    first exam."
