iTunes U

Picture 1
iTunes U is a cross-platform multimedia distribution system hosted by Apple for colleges and universities. This content can be easily accessed and downloaded via Apple's popular iTunes application and then viewed on a user's computer or on a portable MP3 player, such as Apple's iPod.



It is the vision of Ball State Teachers College that content distributed through iTunes U highlight academic and professional endeavors to serve the needs of our constituents and highlight college programs. The iTunes U initiative will take Ball State's faculty expertise to educators in Indiana and across the globe.

Content considered for iTunes U will be vetted by committee review for content, copyright, and production standards. An overview of the planning steps along with a link to the
Project Request site is available at the Content Creators page.
