Now Recording Professors who want to give “coursecasting” (enabling students to download lectures onto their iPods) a try need a reliable recording tool. At $59.95, the MicroMemo, from XtremeMac, enables instructors to store as much as 51 hours of lectures on an iPod Nano 2G or 384 hours on a video iPod. The files are saved in CD-quality WAV format, making them easy to upload into iTunes. Even if coursecasting isn’t offered at their school, students can still purchase MicroMemo to record notes and lectures themselves. Working in conjunction with this product, the MemoMic, a lapel microphone, is designed for professors who like to move around a large lecture hall while speaking. It sells separately for $29.95. To learn more, visit www.xtrememac.com. Moving toward a Different Climate Scantron's Class Climate 3.0 is a course evaluation and survey system that provides fast and accurate processing of both online and paper-based surveys and data analysis for improved decision making. Its SOAP-based Application Programming Interface enables integration with users’ existing software applications. It allows basic settings to be customized in online survey templates as well as survey questions to be imported from users’ databases for paper-based or online surveys. Participants can view survey results. After results have been reported, comments can be added to the instructor's reports. Expanded capabilities support both system level and department level needs and give subunit administrators the option to change specific parts of the system configuration. The “Faculty License” starter kit starts at $7,000; standard licensing begins at $13,000. Pricing for campus licensing can be tailored to the size of the location. Visit www.scantron.com.
