| Description: | Students at the University of Michigan's School of Dentistry use their iPods and MP3 players for more than just listening to music--they also listen to class lectures and review notes with a student-run project that uses iTunes technology for academic purposes. UM-Dentistry uses iTunes U, a free content-management system from Apple Computer, to post audio recordings of class lectures online. Students can preview a lecture recording, download an individual lecture, or subscribe to have downloads delivered to their computers or MP3 players automatically. |

| Description: | Most students are not taught how to critically evaluate information found on the Internet. The ability to read, understand, and decipher online material requires a unique skill set—qualities many of today's students have yet to grasp, according to researchers at the University of Connecticut and Clemson University, who with funds from the U.S. Department of Education, are creating a custom built model to help students acquire the kinds of higher-level comprehension skills necessary to navigate today's digital landscape. |
