The cost of education is a huge issue in America, and I often wonder if my student debt will ever really go away. Sometimes I want to go back to school (and sometimes I do) but more often, I realize that time and resources just will not permit me to take on a full-time course load or interrupt my schedule to do homework and go to class. So what can I do? Stop learning? No way. I’d rather take intensive weekend classes, read a book or…listen to a podcast.
iTunes U offers colleges the chance to stream lectures, panels, speeches and video online through a special tab in the iTunes Store.
Some material is limited to college affiliates and is password protected, but there’s still plenty open-access material you can enjoy for free.

Think outside the classroom.
Learning no longer happens only at a desk. Students now expect constant access to information, no matter where they are. Which is exactly why more and more faculty are using iTunes U to distribute digital lessons to their students.
