Using and Producing Courses with iTunes U Course Manager
Educators can create full courses and publish them on iTunes U using iTunes U Course
Manager, a web-based tool accessible from a web browser. Students then have access
to all course materials through the iTunes U app on iPad or iPod touch. Courses can
feature audio, video, books, apps, websites, and other content. Students can review
these materials at any time, from just one location. And they can keep track of the
class assignments and check them o when they’re complete.
If your K–12 school district is an iTunes U provider, you can create your own courses
and then distribute them to your students and anyone else via iTunes U.
