So I hopped into iTunes U and had a good look. A bad thing is that you have to choose a university first and only then you can sort by categories, but maybe I miss something. iTunes U already supports audio <strong>and<\/strong> video. Being a visual guy I often missed the slides for all of the presentations, so maybe it would be nice to upload them at iTunes U as a kind of lesson booklet. (Update: some of the universities offer Audio, Video AND PDF files with the slides and additional material. Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifeb.uni-bremen.de\/wordpress_staedtler\/?p=141\" target=\"_new\">Helge<\/a> for this tip!)<\/p>\n<p>I found a few interesting courses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/deimos3.apple.com\/WebObjects\/Core.woa\/Browse\/berkeley.edu.1257931873.01257931876.1262325872?i=1322958845\">Psych 101: Research and Data Analysis in Psychology<\/a> by Fredric Theunissen \/ U Berkeley<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/deimos3.apple.com\/WebObjects\/Core.woa\/Browse\/berkeley.edu.1179059211.01258472603.1252949320?i=1796495841\">Psych 160: Social Psychology<\/a> by Serena Chen &amp; Dacher Keltner \/ U Berkeley<\/li>\n<li>Duke has videos: <a href=\"http:\/\/deimos3.apple.com\/WebObjects\/Core.woa\/Browse\/new.duke.edu.1301477303.01302681272.1303254048?i=1334880818\">Information Science + Information Studies<\/a> gives us insight into podcasting and blogging in Education.<\/li>\n<li>Definitely have a look at the MIT offerings which open their deep Open Courseware catalogue to iTunes U, they also link to the course web sites in MIT OCW, so there is a lot of rich background material available: <a href=\"http:\/\/deimos3.apple.com\/WebObjects\/Core.woa\/Browse\/mit.edu.1302150465.01302150471.1300953521?i=1984561245\">here is an example<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, this was just a short dive into iTunes U, but it is definitely worth checking out.

I am interested in this to learn, if we can use this as a cost saving infrastructure for sharing contents with our students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated 06\/10\/07 Open Content meets iTunes: see it for yourself.
