According to Apple,
"iTunes U — a powerful distribution system for everything from lectures to language lessons, films to labs, audiobooks to tours — is an innovative way to get educational content into the hands of students."Before our recent vacation I briefly browsed through the history and humanities section of iTunes U and loaded up my iTouch. It was awesome to sit in a jeep ride through Mongolia while at the same time listen to a lecture about the American Revolution. It is truly amazing what we can get our hands on these days. Right now I'm plowing through part of the "Colonial and Revolutionary America" lecture series from Stanford University. I have my eye on "European Civilization" from Yale next.
Have you found anything interesting on iTunes U that you'd recommend?
And an even better question...How are tools, like iTunes U, going to change the face of education in the coming years? (I think there is a lot that can be said on this topic.) Any thoughts?
