It isn’t to often that you can put a post in the category of both CoC and technology but I am thrilled to do so today.
According to Reporter-news.com, Abilene Christian University will begin to offer iPod video content on two graudate level degrees.
Students who enroll in Abilene Christian University’s Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation or Master of Education in Leadership of Learning programs will receive an Apple Video iPod as part of their course cost.
Students will use the handy tools to download and access videos and other study materials at their convenience. Students can then take those materials anywhere they go.
The program will allow busy graduate students to enhance their education while meeting the responsibilities of jobs and family, said Dr. Gary Tucker, director of distance education.
The classes are the first in what the university is calling ”ACU WorldWide,” designed largely to bring ACU’s classes to students in urban and global markets, he said.
”The people who need graduate degrees are busy professionals, and they don’t have the time to come to a university,” Tucker said. ”This will allow them to take classes that will fit into their lifestyles.”
Way to go, ACU! It is exciting to see colleges embrace technology and use forward thinking to better serve their students, faculty, and staff. Awesome!
