Professor in an iPod

iPods in the classroom

In Professor in an iPod, the Wisconsin State Journal describes a program at the University of Wisconsin – Madison to encourage instructors to take advantage of the media habits of their students:

...instructors were invited to submit proposals for creating audio podcasts. Grants of $800 and 10 hours of technical support were awarded for 76 audio podcasting projects involving 86 instructors. Some took the opportunity to podcast their lectures, but most created new material to augment their classroom teaching, aimed at helping students learn more or better understand complicated subjects…

This is the right way to go. Too many instructors at all levels are playing too much catch-up and not enough lead-the-way with technology!

    Hello,
    What do I have to do, to make an audiobook file appear on the audiobook folder on my iPod?
    I didn't get it how does it work.
    Is there a special extension for audiobooks, because I've tried to convert to ACC (tutorial on this forum) but it didn't work.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks
