I do not normally repost stuff from others but saw a post on this today and thought I would share the information I found in it<\/p>\n

I’m not a fan of iTunes, especially since I use a WP7 which forces me to use Zune. \u00a0But I do have to admit that one particular feature of Apple’s online media store is absolutely wonderful, and well worth exploring.<\/p>\n

That feature is called iTunes U. \u00a0The “U” stands for University, and it’s a scheme whereby dozens of the world’s top universities make thousands of lectures available online. \u00a0Most of them are completely free, and can be accessed by anyone, regardless of whether you’re a student at the university concerned.<\/p>\n

The lectures cover every subject under the sun, and because they were produced within leading universities it’s a fair bet that they’re accurate and trustworthy.<\/p>\n

To use iTunes U, the only downside is that you’ll need to install iTunes on your PC and sign up for a free account. \u00a0The download, from\u00a0http:\/\/www.apple.com\/itunes<\/a>, is around 75 MB. \u00a0Once you’re done, head to the iTunes Store and then click on the iTunes U button in the top menu bar. \u00a0You’ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n

Hopefully that information will help someone find a lecture they may be looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
