ITunes is usually where people go to download music, movies, and TV shows. Well now there is a new section of iTunes devoted to education. There you can search millions of audio and video files from many different schools. It was created to enrish cirriculum with digital content. Colleges and universities build their own iTunes U sites. Faculty can post stuff for their classes. Students can download what they need. More than half of the nations top 500 schools use it to distribute content to students. Any school can oopen all or part of its site to the public.
You can listen to language sessions, watch lab demonstrations, and review lectures. Everyone seems to be loving this new creation. Once the site is up it pretty much runs itself. Therefore, the faculty rarely need help with it. Students get on the computer to email, chat, and surf. With this new invention it helps the teachers get into the digital lifestyle and helps keeps the students engaged in the courses. It is a way to bring your subjects to life that wasn't possible before.
