If you missed that lecture, just go to iTunes. The University of Michigan joins 40 other university who participate in
iTunes U
- a branch of the apple creation that offers lectures (audio and video)
to audiences across the globe through iTunes Store free of charge.
Stanford, a participating school, has reported 1.8 million downloads
since spring 2005. Wow, that's either a lot of class skipping, or a lot
of interested people.
Topics are across the board, from art to business to the environment.
Excerpt:
A wide variety of material is going up — lectures from a Saturday
morning physics class, teaching material from dental courses,
university news releases, even a complete archive of speeches by U-M
President Mary Sue Coleman going back to her inauguration in 2003.
Audio
and video material can be downloaded, all of it free, although some
selected class lectures will be password-protected for registered
members only. Not all classes and departments at U-M will participate;
downloads will only be available from professors who record their
offerings and decide to post them online.
