Podcasts & Audiobooks

Podcasts remind me of ye olde college days when professors were kind enough to tape record their lectures. What an incredible relief that was for me in Biology class. They also remind me of the advent of webct and online classes - professor's lectures there in print for me to return to as many times as it took. I can't remember if I read this in this exercise (or in Currents about a prof who is recording lectures and podcasting them), but the concept of allowing people/students to actually sit and listen and absorb the discussion (instead of note taking) resonates with me.
