iTunesU - a learning platform for schools

iTunesU offers schools, especially secondary schools, a platform for delivering and creating course content with the iTunesU App.  Schools looking at a 1 to 1 iPad program should explore the content available.
  • Students can search for and subscribe for free (mostly) to courses from a range of educational institutions across the world.
  • Each course can provide access to a range of media: videos, podcasts, iBooks etc.
  • Courses are structured and students can keep track as they complete sections of the course.
  • Students can make and keep notes within their course and notes made in course associated iBooks are available within the course.
A good introduction to the iTunesU App can be viewed here:

The really useful part for schools is that there is the potential to create course content via the iTunesU Course Manager that can be made available in iTunesU.  This opens up a lot of possibilities for schools as they can create content and courses and deliver it seamlessly to students via the iTunesU app.
Schools should note however, that content must be created and delivered under an educational institution that has an approved iTunesU account. 
Our system is currently investigating a system iTunes U account and individual schools currently do not have authority to sign up for a school account.
