College students who want to put their vacations to good use often take a correspondence course. They might take this course through their own college or might find a local community college that offers the same course. They can get a few credits out of the way and also find something to occupy their time if they don’t have much to do with their vacation time. Plus they can dress in pajamas and lounge on the couch as they listen to the lectures, being as comfortable as they want. They can work on the class on their own time, listening to a lot of lectures all together, or spreading them out over several days.flash drives. Schools offer various formats for correspondence courses. Recordings of the lecture might be on CD, in mp3 format, or streamed online. There could even be video recordings of lectures on DVD or streamed online. With a laptop or an iPod, a student can easily sit down and listen away to a lecture. Well, CDs can take up a lot of space, and not everyone has a completely stable internet connection. What format would take up less space and not depend on an active internet connection? What about USB flash drives [http://www.cfgear.com/allflashdrives.html] ? A college could place an entire course’s worth of mp3s on a flash drive. CFgear offers flash drives that can hold several gigabytes of data, plenty of space for a correspondence course. During a school year, the teachers could record their lectures onto mp3 recorders or directly onto a laptop using a sound program. My school uses a setup where the teacher wears a wireless mic. That mic connects to a receiver that plugs into a small mp3 recorder. Then the teacher can just plug in the receiver, clip on the mic, on hit the record button. She’s set to go with her lecture and can just run her class as normal. Every word she says records onto the little device.
