You probably know Apple's iTunes U as a wonderfully rich collection of teaching and learning resources. All sorts of learning objects can be found there - from Library of Congress text, image and video content to materials posted by the Maine Department of Education in support of the MLTI, and so much more. In February 2013, there have been over 1 billion digital content downloads. But things have changed - the new iTunes U app for iOS allows access to iTunes U courses that can contain all types of content along with assignments and commentary. Great content - curated as a course. In addition, through iTunes U. Course Manager, K-12 institution faculty can now create these courses independently. Head here: www.apple.com/education/itunes-u/ to learn more, and then plan to come to this session to see iTunes U and iTunes U Course Manager in action
