University of Michigan dental students who doze off during a lecture can use their iPods to find out what they missed.

Apple Computers is giving students at the School of Dentistry access to the lectures free of charge. They come in an M-P-Three compressed digital data file format on an iTunes Internet site.

Students can download them onto their iPods and watch them wherever and whenever they want.

Stanford, Duke and California-Berkeley are among the universities offering lectures in an M-P-Three format. And Drexel University in Philadelphia is giving new video iPods to all students.

About a dozen universities have similar lecture access.
