What is iTunes U?

Indiana University uses Apple's iTunes U to make podcasts readily available to students, faculty, and staff at IU. Using iTunes U, you can access course content and university information from within iTunes.

IU instructors and Oncourse CL site owners can publish podcasts to iTunes U by adding the iTunes U tool to their Oncourse CL sites.

Note: For policy information on podcast content at Indiana University, refer to the University Information Policy Office (UIPO) University-wide IT Policy page. In particular, see Appropriate Use of Information Technology Resources.

Via IU's iTunes U launch page IU students, faculty, and staff (and some external audiences, such as potential students and alumni) can log in to access podcasts.

Note: Indiana University has launched a public iTunes U site in the iTunes Store, but continues to offer iTunes U sites that require IU Network ID authentication (accessible via Oncourse CL or at http://itunes.iu.edu/). Content in the public iTunes U site is searchable by users worldwide via the iTunes Store and requires no authentication. To make your podcast available to the public, add the iTunes U tool to your Oncourse CL site, and then fill out and submit the iTunes U Request Form.

iTunes is available for free download from Apple's Download iTunes page. Indiana University students, faculty, and staff can download iTunes for free from IUware Online.
