Ipods and education

Many universities have started to use downloadable lectures and even lessons in Spanish, French, and other languages. It was a chain effect once it started and is now a very popular way of getting information to the students. This technology takes place of actually going to the class, and the students can download lectures from any computer with internet access. This is very convenient, but can also take away from the face-to-face communication that goes on during classes. Overall I believe that this a good idea and can make it easy to listen to lectures or language lessons anytime, not just during a lecture.
