Scheduled to launch during Fall Semester 2012, Georgia Tech’s iTunes U presence will offer an additional channel for providing Georgia Tech's educational content online. iTunes U, a dedicated area of the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com), offers free audio and video content from leading educational institutions.
“iTunes U makes it easy for anyone to access amazing educational material from many of the country’s most respected colleges and universities,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “Education is a lifelong pursuit and we’re pleased to give everyone the ability to download lectures, speeches, and other academic content for free.”
Initial Georgia Tech content offered on iTunes U highlights both academic and key research areas, including lecture series and public service announcements. Georgia Tech’s Institute Communications will work closely with the Libraries, Professional Education, CETL, C21U, and the colleges and schools to collect, vet, and post appropriate material to the Georgia Tech iTunes U site. For additonal information on submitting content for the Georgia Tech iTunes U site, please contact Mike McCracken.
