Get your next college lecture delivered to your video phone
So if the student won't come to class, the class may just come to the student — UK's Coventry University is broadcasting its lectures straight to the 3G handsets of its students. The lessons are filmed, whittled down into 15-minute edited segments and sent to the students' 3G phones "so they don't have to get out of bed in the mornings."
My, how convenient. Think of the time we could have saved if only this had been implemented back in the Stone Ages when we were in school. Who knows, we might have actually have gotten some sleep now and then.
