iTunes University

iTunes University is an interesting idea. I found a few key facts about iTunes U: it contains over 100, 000 educational audio and video files, it is the engine for the mobile learning movement, and the information provided comes from top universities and museums. By using this, you can learn from the world's leading thinkers. It is easy to find because it's part of the iTunes store. Topics are separated into categories to make it easier to find something specific that you may be looking for.

iTunes University can obviously be helpful to students and teachers. For students, using such applications are familiar to them because they are always up on the latest gadgets like iPods or other mobile electronic devices that will play stuff found on the iTunes website. Students can learn anytime, anywhere at their own pace. For teachers, it is useful because they can create customized educational materials, such as language lessons. They can also do presentations and lectures that can be downloaded for the students to have. In my opinion, the iTunes University is very useful in both positions.
