audio learning at the graduate level? - jb111 - 08-20-2017
I realize, "Full", audio lectures have become an important part of my learning process. I take it in at my convenience (such as breaks at work or while doing menial tasks). Plus, after a full day in front of a computer, my eyes are rather fatigued. Options like Study.com have worked really well for me. Best of all is on a mobile device.
NationsU and Liberty are my current top choices for a masters (leaning towards psychology and/or theological). I'm not seeing lots of evidence that this form of learning is available - or at best, it's very limited. Have you heard of/seen any institutions that have a mobile audio component? Or is Masters-level work simply not there and requires butts in seats? Makes me wonder how the blind deal with this. Thx

There are thousands of online master's programs. Online master's degree programs require you to read a lot. Rarely will they have recorded or live lectures.

I had the textbooks from Saylor read aloud. I used Aldiko e reader or grabmybooks with other readers. Aldiko premium worked best for me.

All the courses I took through Harvard Extension's graduate program were live lectures that were streamed but then also recorded to watch at your convenience. I would expect that even their archived courses are lecture / video based. BTW, they were awesome. No reason you couldn't listen without watching.

I did some testing. These programs work pretty well! 2X speed is perfect. Thx
