iTunes University

iTunes U is a free online source of educational information from top Universities around the world, among other places. It offers a wide variety of information available to absolutely anyone; not just students. This site can be used in so many different ways. One of its biggest benefits is that it is college information that anyone can access for free. This is huge! "That means those whose budget won't stretch to a two-year MBA can simulate the experience at home, at work, in the gym or anywhere else they choose. And even better for money-conscious learners, the iTunes U content can all be downloaded free of charge" (http://edition.cnn.com/2009/BUSINESS/10/16/online.university/?imw=Y).

iTunes U is helpful for students in college and teachers at any level too. "Today’s students expect constant access to information in the classroom and beyond. Which is why more and more faculty are using iTunes U to distribute digital lessons to their students" (http://www.apple.com/education/mobile-learning/). It is nice as a college student to gain information from places other than the classroom and to receive the information you are learning in more than one way. The fact that it is free is even more beneficial to students who are already in college. Also, teachers can use this site to find multiple ways to teach the subject matter and better relate to many different students. I think that this is an amazing thing that Apple created!
