iTunes U…Who Knew? Did You?

Several months ago while I was entranced in something on the internet, Hubby thought it would be the perfect time to show me something else on the internet. Hmmm. May not have been the most appropriate time, but it was definitely an appropriate share.

There is a division of the iTunes Store called…iTunes U.

Did you know that?

It’s an online university created by Apple. You can view course material from thousands of resources including Ivy League schools, libraries, and lectures. iTunes U has the world’s largest online catalog of free education content. There are some features with enhancements that cost money, but the majority of what’s available is free.

Here are a couple of screenshots from iTunes U which you can access with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. I prefer viewing it on my laptop.

I just subscribed to the course Creative Writing: A Master Class. It looks like it’s chock full of information. So I’m looking forward to that.

You can subscribe to an entire course or just download pieces of it.

All you need is an Apple ID to get started.

There’s a K-12 section too!

You can learn a language, calculus (although I’ll leave that up to someone else), international law, and much, much more. There are even courses on iPad and iPhone app development.

Some items require specific hardware to access it, so be sure to read the fine print first.

Go on…get educated!

Did you know about iTunes U already?

What would you be most interested in learning?

Do you speak any other languages fluently?

I first heard about this a few years ago, but being in school at the time, I had no interest in taking on more school in my free time. Now that pretty much all my time is free, I'm much more interested to go back and see what classes are available! I really love to learn! Thanks for the reminder!
