Lauren,
Are you referring to physical peripherals or do you include programs like audio
flashcards, quizzes?

Please advise,

Hi,

I'm looking for opinions of what would make up the best "accessory  
package" for ipods in language learning settings. One package for  
teachers and another package for students. Obviously there may be  
overlap between the two.  I'm not looking for brands but rather  
functions such as microphone, speakers, etc. If you want to offer  
brands, great but the main idea at this point is to develop the  
"ideal" set of accessories. I realize that in some cases both parties  
would be making and/or listening to/viewing the casts so part of this  
is to see what, if any, differences there might be between instructor  
needs and student needs and to just get an idea of what you all think  
are the most useful accessories at this point in an academic language  
learning setting. If there is something that isn't made yet but you  
think it would be useful, feel free to list that as well.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Lauren
