iTunes U Information

iTunes U is a free, hosted service for colleges and universities that provides easy, round-the-clock access to their academic content.

Once it becomes operational, students will be able to download materials from any location then listen to and view that content on their Mac, PC, or media device (iPod, Zune, any MP3 player). Faculty will be able to easily post and change content on their own. Students will be able to upload their own content to share with professors or with the class.
