According to the passage, what is applied in teaching today? [br] [originaltext

Digital rap3 players like Apple’s iPod can download and play hours of music and thousands of images. It’s not surprising that they are among the nation’s most popular entertainment devices. Now, a handful of U. S. colleges and universities are using them as education devices.
     That chance to listen as many times as necessary makes a difference. Back in the days when students came to class, they hear what the teacher says.

Nowadays, they need to focus on the student experience and make the entire teaching experience not about the professor giving their lectures. It’s about how can schools reach out to the students in a way that meets their needs, since so many of today’s students are not "traditional learners" any more.
