I do not consider the recording of lectures to be "a good&helpful attempt" towards increasing "the quality" of academic learning as well as the one of academic teaching. Compare two situations well-known to socio-cultural anthropologists: the recorded interview and the informal talk in regards of information flow. Far from making general statements on the specific inherent qualities of these two ethnographic practices, you won`t disagree that some situation of information flow within an informal aka nonrecorded talk would simply not happen if the talk was recorded. I believe the same mechanism work within a seminar or a lecture that is recorded and moreover published noneditedly on the internet. No. I think, this would do bad. As students deserve privacy within their process of learning, professors do as well. An alternative is to publish them lectures in textform that are written by the lecturers themselves. [Via blogs, for example.] I m not enough into technicals and digital tools to answer tha ipod thing, still n00b on this ground and travelling textbased, but no!

The lectures, talks, and music are free - and presumably will work on other devices besides iPods. While I can see iTunes being convinenet for many students, I don't quite understand why they <em>require</em> iTunes to download this stuff. Why not make this it available via a web browser as well?
