iTunes U for iPad Retools the Learning Experience (Macrumors)
In the second half of Apple’s education-focused media event today, the company
turned its attention to iTunes U, the company’s free educational podcast
section in the iTunes Store. Eddy Cue took the stage to announce that over
1,000 universities are currently using iTunes U, with the program’s content
having seen over 700 million downloads to date.
The new iTunes U app advances iTunes U from audio and video lectures to a
full-fledged learning app, allowing non-traditional students access to huge
amounts of free content but more importantly for Apple, allowing schools to
adopt iTunes U as a learning platform.
> The all-new iTunes U app lets teachers create and manage courses including
essential components such as lectures, assignments, books, quizzes and
syllabuses and offer them to millions of iOS users around the world.
Courses are created via the iTunes U Course Manager, a web-based tool that
allows teachers to build a course that includes a syllabus, handouts, quizzes,
and other items. Course materials are hosted by Apple and available to anyone
taking the course — by default, courses are open and available to anyone,
though it appears schools can restrict their courses to only their students.

This recording is una… |

Emperor’s New Groove [VHS] [2001] £2.45 The Emperor’s New Groove was originally developed as an epic called Kingdom of the Sun and lost scale and most of Sting’s song score (some of which can be heard on the soundtrack) on its way to the screen. The end result is the lightest Disney film in many a moon, a joyous romp akin to Aladdin in its quotient of laughs for children and adults. The original story centres on the spoiled teenage empe… |
