UK universities enlist iconic iTunes service - gair rhydd
European universities have started to provide free lecture material to students via iTunes. The venture was pioneered in the United States through the non-charging “iTunes U” section of the music downloading service, which is a free educational area launched by Apple last summer.
But now University College London (UCL), the Open University and Trinity College Dublin are uploading video and audio material for students to access and use on iPods or computers. Professor Peter Mobbs at UCL said: “Our students will be able to revisit materials presented to them in lectures, so they can learn anywhere and anytime.” Many UK universities already offer podcasts of lectures, but this will be the first time that such broadcasts have been distributed on the iTunes service.
