iTunes University

iTunes University is a free site that allows users to access and download classes from different Universities around the United States. Universities such as Berkeley in California,Yale in Connecticut, and Stanford in California all participate in iTunes U. This program provides a constant access to information anytime, anywhere. Over 200,000 lessons can be viewed and download through iTunes university onto a computer, iPod, iTouch, iPhone, etc.




iTunes U has two basic sites. An Internal Site and a external site. Internal sites allow only members to view and listen to podcasts. Internal sites allows the user to customize with branding and scripts. An external site allows all to view and listen to their podcasts.


iTunes U would be a help to me as a student. I have always enjoyed Internet based courses because they allowed flexibility. I am able to view the course when i need to and it is available to access anywhere via a computer. iTunes U takes it up one step. t allows you to download a lecture to an iPod which optimum for working out, traveling, running errands, etc. while allowing the user to learn being completely mobile.

Teachers can use the iLife and/or iWork applications on Mac to create educational materials. This allows teachers to be creative with their lessons. With Podcast Producer and wiki server IT professionals at a school can introduce a various amount of multimedia.
