iTunes University

iTunes University is an educational branch off of the iTunes store. It uses the same services that an iPod gets from iTunes in an educational light, such as the ability to download audio and video files from schools across the country. It's my guess that schools like Duke University are using the services that iTunes University provides as a means for their experimental program.

Much of the material posted using iTunes U can be shared with a specific college, alumni, surrounding community, colleges across the world, and even people that just love to learn. More than half of the nation's Top 500 schools are already in on this movement that seems to be catching on rapidly.

I think this is a really neat way to learn. It is generally the same thing that Duke University is doing with its students using the iPods, but on a much larger scale. I truly believe this could enhance the learning experience for many students, but it is very much unrealistic at this day and time considering the cost of materials (ie. iPods).
