The university also will create a Web site modeled on the Apple iTunes online music site from which students can download songs and course content from faculty, including language lessons, lectures and audio books.
Lisa Merschel’s Spanish class will use the iPods to listen to textbook exercises and Spanish songs. Sally Schauman plans to have students record field interviews on the ethics and science of urban water conservation. —Duke to Provide Freshmen With IPods (AP|MyWay)

Will, I’ve linked to MyWay for wire stories numerous times. I could have picked any of dozens of other sites carrying the same stories, but MyWay doesn’t have pop-ups and the stories won’t disappear behind a paid subscription firewall in a few weeks.
If it is a hoax, it’s a good one.
Uh…doesn’t this strike anyone else as “to good to be true”? Did you notice that the article url is actually “myway.com”? I’m waiting for Dr Jerz’s next entry – “Duke providing iPods was a hoax”.
Did they issue Walkmen when those were the rage? Please! This is pandering for tuition, plain and simple. (Sorry: I felt like being a curmudgeon today)
Now that’s access!!! And it reminds me that I need to do more with audio and video for some upcoming conferences
