Japanese College Offers Cell Phone Course
I've written before about the potential of cell phone courses (and my disdain for the idea). Now, it seems that one Japanese college has actually gone through with it. This week Cyber University began offering a cell phone course about the mysteries of the pyramidslinks. The Associated Press reports:
"Sakuji Yoshimura, who heads Cyber University and gives the pyramids course, said the university provides educational opportunities for people who find it hard to attend real-life universities, including those with jobs and those who are sick or have disabilities...

He scoffed at those who question the value of Internet and cell-phone classes, noting attendance is relatively high at 86 percent. Whether students play the lecture downloads to the end can be monitored by the university digitally, officials said."
The cell phone course is free to the members of the public who receive cell phone service from the college's chosen network. What do you think? Will the cell phone course be a convenient way to learn or a distraction?
