Exercise 15.7

   The traditional lecture method of education has a number of problems. For example, if a student misses class he might be able to get notes from a classmate, but he will miss a lot from not hearing or seeing his professor talk. In addition, not utilizing technology in this day and age is a shortcoming. The technology that is available allows people to access more data. Making lectures available as pod casts, however, uses the technology that is available. There are three reasons that this teaching method should be adopted. One reason is that making lectures available via podcast allows students to refer back to lectures to retain information better. Another reason is that if a student cannot be present in a classroom he can still have the opportunity to learn. Finally, the transition society to becoming digital is inevitable, so supplying the demand of the desire to use electronic devices is providing a better education. For these reasons, I believe that traditional lecture methods are a thing of the past.
