Staff at a college developed narrated presentations and videos to deliver hairdressing course content to students through the college's wiki using iPod touches. Students were able to access this content using their iPods both on campus and off-site, including in workplaces. Learners engaged easily with the technology and found that it allowed flexible, self-paced study. Level 3 students created their own instructional podcasts to share techniques. Using the iPods promoted research, revision, and exam preparation. Learners found the sessions more exciting and engaging since they could access materials off-site. Retention rates increased 10% above students not involved in the project.
