Professor Henry Petroski from Duke University North Carolina says to a Financial Times interview that it is difficult to get owners of sophisticated digital gadgets to use them at full potential. He points out the example of Duke that last year offered incoming students an iPod, to make it easier for them to listen to lectures and to stimulate creative uses of digital technology.
Well, this year there will be no iPods for the “kids”.
It seems that the experiment has failed: “students only used them for music” .
Would you like to comment Ectoplasm?
I will, I will!!! But give me a couple of days to wrap up grading a bunch of final exams from my undergrads (and start packing all my stuff, by the way)…
Say something when you get here. I still owe you a lunch
