Twenty-eight Colleges and Universities now on iTunes U

The iTunes Store has a relatively new feature called iTunes U which can be found at the bottom of the list in the upper-left box entitled iTunes STORE. There are now 28 colleges and universities that have public sites on iTunes U and some 200 others that have a campus-specific version rather than a public presence.

Bowdoin College has a public presence with 9,000-10,000 users per week making some 3,000 downloads. Among its offerings are three courses: Sociology 291 - Integrating Identities; Visual Arts 310 - Narrative Structures; and Italian 314 - Italian Theater. Bowdoin College also has features on Academic Life, Athletics, Campus Life and Issues in Higher Education.

Launch iTunes and go to the iTunes Store to check iTunes U for offerings from your favorite college or university. [Dana Baggett]
