I want my lectures as podcast. Who says that powerpoint is the only tool in class-presentations? Sound is more important than a stupid slide! Its all the golden words the lecture says thats important, not the written bulletpoints.
Often, when you prepare for the exam, you remember the professor said something important in a particular lecture, but you have not written it down, and it was not on the ppt-slides. If one had the recording of the lecture, one would get more detailed knowledgde from the lecture. Further more, at master level lot of students have fulltime or partime jobs, maybe kids, husbands and wives which can make it harder to be there at all the lectures anyway. With recordings from the lecture the student will never miss a lecture. In sum maybe a podcast-service would actually increase the gradepoint average of the classes.
The first worry that I have is wether or not students would stay away from the lectures, when they can have the lecture as a podcast. I do not think they will, but that would definally be a concern to the professor. Second, is the technical aspect. I must assume that professors dont have technical skills, so it must be easy to handle. Third, it should be almost free of charge; I have no expectations of CBS actually want to pay for this service. Not yet anyway.
So first of all.. a quick survery among the students to uncover whether or not they will stay away from the lectures if they had a podcast-service.
........ why dont they have this kind of service already?! other universities must have this already?
