iTunes University
iTunes University is a collaboration between many of the major Universities and Apple computer to provide digitally recorded audio/video to be recorded and shared between students, professors, alumni, or anyone with the desire to learn across the world. It is online content from all the major universities that is downloadible to any Mac or PC that has Apple iTunes installed.
As a Teacher, this is just another great online resource for me to expand my teaching to my students by extending the learning environment beyond the classroom and into time frames to my students who wish to venture off and learn more on the subject matter I bring to class and beyond.
Students who are slower at learning certian subject matter can greatly benifit by a resource like this by exposing different angles to subject matter that could possibly be a light bulb moment opening a different door to what was blocking them from learning in the first place.
iPods, iTunes, and other portible devices will be a great companion to my students as they are able to take way from the classroom material that is not restricted to text books that are sometimes not very motivating to read through.
