  9. Resource Annotation The article written McKinney, Dyck and Luber compared two groups of students. One group of students downloaded audio lecture podcasts provided through iTunes U and were given PowerPoint slides. The second group of students attended class and took notes during the course lecture. Prior to taking the exam, both groups were to study materials based on the notes taken through podcast and attendance of lectures. Results show, the students who listened to audio podcasts did significantly better in the exam in comparison to students who relied on notes taken during class sessions.
