Lectures in the palm of your hand - Laura Heinauer, American Statesman

Ray Schroeder reports this story on 1 December 2005:

Think those college kids jogging around with white iPod wires hanging out of their ears are listening to music? Think again. In this age of podcasting, there's just as good a chance that the kid you assumed was jamming to Coldplay is actually catching up on a lecture. UT communications professor Gary Wilcox records lectures on his iPod, then posts them online. "I usually do it around test time, to make sure I have everything in my notes," said Jennifer Hallabough, a University of Texas sophomore advertising major who is enrolled in a class that offers recorded lectures. "I'll listen to it anywhere I normally study," she said, laughing at the thought of listening to it while jogging yet admitting it could work for some. Hallabough's course, Introduction to Advertising and Integrated Brand Promotion, is one of several at UT in which lectures are recorded for podcasting.
