College lessons in how to use an iPod
by Olivia Richwald
A COLLEGE is responding to a boom in new technology by offering classes in how to use iPods.
Technophobes will be taught how to use the music website iTunes so they can get the most out of their portable MP3 players.
The workshop is among a number of unusual courses that will be run by Darlington College when it moves to its new building in September.
Among other short courses on offer from October will be Champagne and dessert tasting, TV presenting, hat-making, salsa and hip-hop dancing, and false nail application.
The courses are designed to get the public into the college's ?34.5m building and possibly to encourage some back into education.
More tradition courses on offer include car safety, basic plumbing, electrical maintenance and drugs awareness.
Sue Campbell, executive director of customer relations at the college, said she had no idea who might turn up to the iPod course, or any of those on offer.
She said: "Some of the courses we have on offer are quite innovative and new, we are trying to keep up with modern trends.
"Our media department is a centre of vocational excellence and the public is interested in this sort of thing.
"We are expecting virtually anybody. In the past we have had people from the age of 14 through to their 90s. It is not about just attracting young people, it is about attracting the whole community.
"Hopefully, these will encourage people to think about learning as fun and interesting."
The classes will be taught by college tutors and range from two to three hours long.
College chief executive and principal Sarah Robinson said: "We haven't been able to offer courses like this from our existing site. The focus will be on having fun and practical things."

Apparently nobody has told you about the middle rack.... 'not too complicated' has no meaning to me. LOL |

I wasn't going to say anything about you maybe needing to see if BGSU offers a cooking class, but I was playing nice so I didn't. But since you said it...  |

iPod... hook up to a computer... iPod downloads songs you select... select music you want to play with the simple controls and menu... and I've never even touched an iPod in my life

Now granted, my iPod is my life, but still. The simplicity is almost too simple for me; i want more options and geewhiz gizmos on it, but im okay with the fact it just stores 10,000 songs and plays them back to me in a playlist, artist, album, or song format. Oooooh, and it plays videos. I love my iPod; 60 FULL gbs of pure heaven.

Mine just counts coins and tickets. I can't seem to figure it out. Isn't it supposed to play music?
