Not much has been advertised about iTunes U but Apple Inc has been testing iTunes U in several USA Universities for the past few years. Recently, iTunes U comes with limited access for all.
In a nutshell, iTunes U leverages Apple’s podcasting technology to bring your professors right onto your Mac/PC via ITunes. iTunes U podcasts range from audio to full blown video podcasting, that is revolutionising the way we learn.
Pilot programmes starting with Standford University have expanded to include other prominent institutions of learning in USA, Arizona State University, Bowdoin College, Concordia Seminary, Duke, Michigan Tech University, MIT, NJIT, Otis College of Arts and Design, Pennsylvania State University, Queens University, Seattle Pacific University, Texas A & M, UC Berkeley, UMBC and University of South Florida.
Now you can be part of these renown institutions right in your bedroom. Download the podcasts, sync with your iPod and you have your professor in your pocket (literally)!
