　　Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law School for about 40 years, announced this week in a detailed, footnoted memorandum that he would ban laptop computers from his class on contract law.

　　The experience at Duke University may ease some concerns. A few years ago, Duke began giving iPods to students with the idea that they might use them to record lectures .

　　We had assumed that the biggest focus of these devices would be consuming the content, said Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at Duke.
