iTunes University, a website with downloadable educational podcasts, can provide students the opportu- nity to obtain professors' lectures when students are unable to attend class. To determine the effective- ness of audio lectures in higher education, undergraduate general psychology students participated in one of two conditions. In the lecture condition, participants listened to a 25-min lecture given in person by a professor using PowerPoint slides. Copies of the slides were given to aid note-taking. In the podcast condition, participants received a podcast of the same lecture along with the PowerPoint handouts. Par- ticipants in both conditions were instructed to keep a running log of study time and activities used in pre- paring for an exam. One week from the initial session students returned to take an exam on lecture content. Results indicated that students in the podcast condition who took notes while listening to the podcast scored significantly higher than the lecture condition. The impact of mobile learning on class- room performance is discussed.
