I was not able to access iTunes as I am limited to only using the CQUniversity computers. However I do have an iPhone and have played a little with the pod cast application on the phone.
I often check out the iTunes U section, which contains podcasts from Universties throughout Australia and the world. Suddenly I am a global student.
As Spender and Stewart (2002) states 'We need imaginative solutions to ensure that everyone has access to online delivery of learning anywhere, anytime and any place'.
I have been able to achieve this via my new iPhone.
As a busy mother of 4, I find myself constantly in the car and waiting for the kids to finish their training sessions for their various sports. I use this time to listen to the pod casts of other universities. Unfortunately I am not able to view or listen to the lectures produced in the courses that I have undertaken at CQU. It is a technological gliche.

I totally understand how busy you are as mother of 4!!! ( I only have 2 kids so compare with you, yes it is nothing.) Anyway it is great idea to listen the podcast from University in the car. I often wonder how I can spend a valuable time while I was waiting or driving for kids as well. Thank you for your great idea!
