Learning: Do U know iTunes U?

We all know iPod has changed our lives in a way we couldn't predict when it first came into the market in its first version. But I think not only iPod but also podcasting have been dramatically changing learning activities out there. I should say I'm addicted to some podcasts like "Business Week Cover Stories", "Bob and Rob show" among others and now I cannot imagine my English studies without some podcasts.

One thing though that I recently discovered by chance is iTunes U. In a few words, Apple is offering the use of iTunes Store to universities to publish their educational media (audio and video) so that users can easily search and access to a wide collection of useful data. Can you imagine taking a class of "International Relations" from Stanford? That is possible.

Go to iTunes U right now and learn more. If you are used to iTunes, there's a link to iTunes U in the upper left box with links in the main iTunes Store page.

Another cool initiative is MIT's OpenCourseWare: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm

They've published the content of more than 1800 of their courses.

Take a look!
It worths the time!

Regards!
