The best teaching has always found a way to break out of the classroom's walls - and some of the most important lessons are learned not over a textbook, but over a cup of coffee or through a common interest. For students and faculty at ACU, the classroom is merely the beginning of a journey, and tools like iTunes U, the iPod and the iPhone can help students and faculty discover new ways of traveling together.
Dr. William Rankin, ACU's director of educational innovation, says he's excited to see how teachers will use some of the new capabilities of the new generation of Apple's devices.
"In their earlier generations, the iPhone and iPod touch were best-in-class tools for consuming media and exploring the web," Rankin notes, "but the new software and new devices make these increasingly compelling for creating content, too.
"We expect to see a lot of teachers and students exploring the use of video, audio, and rich messaging in their academic work, and the new generation of devices will help us do that."
