Overview
iTunes U is a free, cross-platform multimedia distribution and learning environment system wherein educational content – course audio/video lectures and supplemental course-related material – is hosted online and made available to students. In addition to course-related material, lectures and presentations from UIS public events, sports, news broadcasts, and concerts can be delivered through iTunes U.
Students can download course-related content from iTunes U using a Windows PC or a Mac, or take it with them using an MP3 player. Students can access iTunes U content from Blackboard with one click. With secure authentication, content within iTunes U can be restricted to registered students, faculty, or staff, or it can be made available to all, depending on an instructor’s request.
Related Info: iTunes U is completely cross-platform for Windows PC or Mac. iTunes U supports many file formats, including mp3, wav, aiff, Apple Lossless, aac audio, and mp4 video.
An iPod is not necessary to play the audio [mp3] files and the files can be played on a variety of devices including your desktop computer.
