In a move sure to have prospective students jumping for joy*as parents empty their wallets, an American University has*issued a requirement that students have not only a laptop; but an iPod Touch or iPhone for their course.
In many US universities it is common place for students to be required to own a laptop for their studies, but*the move by Missouri School of Journalism sees the first requirement of this kind. The functionality that the iPod Touch and iPhone have is claimed*by the University to be the reason for the demand. Lessons, assignments, lectures and podcasts will*be available to students, it will ensure that everyone is always up-to date with the course.
