The traditional method of education has a number of problems For example, if you were to miss a class, you would thusly miss any notes given, and any/all class discussion from that day, along with what assignments were given. In additon, if the teacher does not pronunciate well or has problems speaking to the class, there is usually very little to be done about it. Making lectures available as podcasts however, allows students to not have to miss classes and be able to read everything nessecary on their own without having to try and interprate someone else's vernacular or views on the subject that may sway the discussion. There are thee reasons that this teaching method should be adopted. One reason is that students don't have to freak out about "missing a class" because of illness or other personal reasons. Another reason is that students can read the material and come o understand it through their own unique methods as opposed to listening to it explained by someone who has already formed their own opinions of it. Finally, one can read and re-read the lecture as many times as they want as opposed to only hearing it once and taking notes. For these reasons, I believe that lectures should be recorded or pre-written and posted for the class' easier use and access.
