Podcasts
My med school has recently started podcasting our lectures afterwards and I have to say, it's awsome. I missed one morning last week due to my inability to get out of bed, and I just listened to the lecture. I have to say, just sitting here listening instead of trying to write things down at an insane speed really added to my understanding. In lectures, I usually have to sit there and I'm trying to hard to write things down so that I understand the notes and get the insight when I go back to study that I don't remember what the lecture was about afterwards. Sitting in my living room just listening, I actually took something away from it. This podcasting thing is genius. Although I won't be able to re-listen to every lecture on podcast, I can put them on my ipod and use up the time on the train or at the gym to listen to a few key ones for understanding. Finally, something useful done by my medical school administration! Hoorah!

That's awesome!! Does that mean that theoretically I could go onto iTunes or something and listen to med school lectures? (I know - I'm a geek. I'm curious about what med school is like though, and it would be cool to see what the lectures are about).
Right now they're password protected on the website so I think only students at my med school can access them but perhaps in the future you will be able to access them publically. It's a pilot project right now.
Now look what you've gone and done, Medstudentitis. All my drool's on the keyboard now. You lucky bums! It's a much better way of learning, isn't it? I think you'd absorb a lot more being able to replay the stuff.
My Anatomy lecturer (the dude who runs InstantAnatomy.com started doing that for his anatomy lectures, and they were a charm. Xavier, you might find 'em useful too.
