While many labor educators debate the pros and cons of online learning, social media and the like, Indiana University Assistant Professor Marquita Walker has staked out a spot for Labor Education in the new electronic world. She has created a Labor Studies app for IPhones and ITunes. There will be one for Ipad later.

The app is entitled "Guide to Labor Studies" and is designed to be used in an introductory Labor Studies or Sociology course which deals with work, workers, society, and social justice. The app has 30 short podcasts and written lectures dealing with such topics as the American work ethic, the unemployment relationship, wage disparities, etc.
