Duke University Digital Initiative (DDI)

Early in the semester, Lee told us about a program in which Duke University was providing iPods to all their students in August 2004. I wanted to investigate this more for my wiki entry on PMP’s and possibly my white paper (still trying to decide which direction to go with that). Duke actually has a Digital Initiative which prompted the use of the iPods. Their website states: “The Duke Digital Initiative (DDI) is a major instructional technology program focused on experimentation, development, and implementation of digital technology in an academic environment. Over a three-year cycle, the DDI will incorporate digital audio, images and video, collaboration tools and tablet and hand-held computing. This Web site serves as a central clearinghouse of information on the DDI for members of the Duke community and the general public.”Duke has also completed a report entitled “Duke University iPod First -Year Experience Final Evaluation Report “ which can be found on their DDI page.Go to DDI Home page at http://www.duke.edu/ddi/index.html to find out more.
