on iTunes U
We are proud to announce the upcoming August 11 launch of The University of Tennessee on iTunes U, enabling the delivery of course materials, lectures, seminars, and other valuable information related to your course or project. Your students can access your podcasts by logging on to UTK on iTunes U with their netID and password. They will be able to download their course-related content to their computer or mobile device and study anywhere, any time they choose.
To post your content through UTK on iTunes U, request an iTunes U course at http://itunesu.utk.edu or through Online@UT (Blackboard) via the Control Panel. Once activated, you will be able to upload your audio and video podcasts as well as PDF documents directly to iTunes U. Access to your podcasts may be restricted to enrolled students, the UTK community, or open to the public. Your students may also produce their own podcasts as part of their coursework portfolio, and upload them to a restricted area in your iTunes U course site.
For more information about The University of Tennessee on iTunes U, contact Joan Thomas at itunesu@utk.edu or by phone at 865-974-7946.
