<p>How do you record a lecture these days? Of course, back in the "olden days" we used tape recorders. What do kids use today? Or do they even still ever record lectures?</p>

<p>Sometimes, they’re online. My cousin got an iPhone stand and recorded them on her phone, and emailed then to herself so she could see them on her computer.</p>

<p>First…you need to get the instructor’s permission to record a lecture. If the instructor says no…then you cannot record it. If you have an accommodation for recording lectures from your college disabilities office, that would be something to present to the instructor.</p>

<p>Some instructors will allow audio recording and others simply will not. YMMV.</p>

<p>iPhone. They also sell a special pen that records as you take notes. Then when you put the pen to the area of your notes that may be difficult to interpret, the recording automatically skips to that part of your notes. The pen is not expensive. The special paper is VERY expensive. I was given this info on a college tour by one of the adult tutors that the school hires.</p>

<p>At my university, most, if not all, the professors podcast their own lectures, so students don’t have to record themselves.</p>

<p>Wow, that’s great. I wonder how many other colleges do the same?</p>

<p>I use a $35 Sony digital voice recorder to record chorus practices. It records as MP3 and it’s a cinch to either play back from the recorder or to move the MP3s to the computer or I suppose iPod for playback.</p>

<p>I have a Sony recorder as well, stores a ton and even if I sit in the back of a 500 seat lecture hall I can hear the recording fine</p>

<p>That’s called a “Smartpen”. It’s sold by a company called Livescribe.</p>
