Learn for free and put your ipod to good use
Today I decided to browse the Itunes store again to see if they already are offering tv series in europe. I didn’t find what I was looking for, but what I did find was something called iTunes U.
The “U” stands for University. What this feature allows you to do is to download lectures from various universities like:
- Arizona State University
- Bowdoin College
- Concordia Seminary
- Duke
- Michigan Tech University
- MIT
- NJIT
- Otis College of Art and Design
- Pennsylvania State University
- Queen’s University
- Seattle Pacific University
- Stanford
- Texas A&M University
- UC Berkeley
- UMBC
- University of South Florida
So this means you can download lectures of various topics. For example I’ve downloaded 2 topic’s lectures from MIT:
- Introduction to Algorithms, Fall 2005
- Introduction to Copyright Law, January 2006
The first topic is about 24 lectures of audio material while the second topics is about 4 or 5 lectures but in video material. This is really nice you can actually follow the class given by the professor on your ipod. I’m not sure if they are interesting, but I spend a lot of time underway on the train and car, so I might as well try to learn some new things.
