Getting Started

What is iTunes U?
Designed to be completely intuitive, iTunes U is based on the iTunes Store, where millions of people already get their music, movies, and TV shows. Now there’s an area of the iTunes Store devoted entirely to education. This content can be easily accessed and downloaded via Apple's popular iTunes application or other podcast-capable software programs.  To learn more watch a short video entitled UNE + iTunes U (00:02:17).
