There is many things that an iPod can be used for in a classroom setting. From listening to podcast, watching videos, and storing documents. iPods are small and portable so a student can take it anywhere with them and have that study aid with them at all times.
Duke University gave iPods to all incoming freshman. The main benefit that they found was the ability to be able to record audio and to listen to it later. This gave the students a way to revisit the lectures and study outside of class. Duke published a review of their findings that was very interesting.
The storage of documents, etc. First mention!
