Since my degree work is primarily online, I have listened to several podcasts of letures. The most interesting of which was from Luciano Floridi, Oxford University professor of philosophy.
Since I could not attend his in-person lecture at the University of Arizona, I was able to listen to the podcast of his lecture on the origins of information. I was also able to visit his blog
and interact with him personally through e-mail. It seems that podcasts and programs such as Second Life are revolotionizing education. There is still no comparison to learning in person, but how wonderful it is to be able to learn about anything anytime, from anywhere.
I have not experimented with Overdrive software because I already have I Tunes installed on my computer. I'm concerned that loading another music program may not be the best idea since I've also had difficulty with sound. I know that most libraries utilize Over Drive software, but I wonder if some thought has been given to partnering with I Tunes since many people use I Tunes already.
