iTunes U

Today Apple announced the launch of iTunes U.

iTunes U is a "dedicated area within the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) featuring free content such as course lectures, language lessons, lab demonstrations, sports highlights and campus tours provided by top US colleges and universities including Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Duke University and MIT."

The content currently is a little unusable (poor video quality, difficult to follow), but I love to see this happening. They got some pretty great universities to buy into this (Standford, Duke, MIT) with some pretty good programs.

I love to see that eLearning targeted for college age students is being created for devices that almost all students have (iPods). This makes learning "hip".

Way to go Apple, and the universities that signed up for this.
