HIGHLAND HEIGHTS - Universities across the country tout themselves as leaders in technology. At Northern Kentucky University, philosophy professor Rudy Garns is on the vanguard. Garns has allowed three of his classes to submit the three required papers in the form of a podcast. A podcast is an oral presentation that is recorded digitally. It is posted on a Web site where people can download the files and listen to them from their computers or transfer them to their digital media players - such as an iPod - for listening later. "These are mostly honors students, so it is not surprising they are creative and adventurous," Garns said.
