Going Public: iTunes U

Tuesday, January 30. 2007

* AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS POST IS AVAILABLE

I haven't been able to find an "official" or definitive list of schools that have partnered with Apple,Inc. to use iTunes U.

As soon as NJIT applied for the program last spring, I began to search for links to others schools using the service. At that point, the list was short - UC Berkeley, Duke, U Michigan & Stanford.

Since then, we have been trying to monitor new schools that offer a public face in iTunes U. We are, of course, all interested in seeing what the other schools are offering. The list here is not definitive, or official either. It is those I have found and bookmarked, but I will try to keep this post up to date until something official does appear.

If you know of a school that has a public presence on iTunes U, please add a link with a comment at the bottom of this entry (or check the podcasting category link for an updated entry on this) and I'll add it to the list. I won't be linking to schools that have podcasts available in the iTunes Music Store. Those can be found by searching within iTunes on topics like "higher education" or subjects. (Currently, that search will not produce results from any of the iTunes U sites.) Nor will I list any schools that only allow their own (authenticated by ID & password) students & faculty access. Most participating colleges (NJIT included) offer both public and private faces with the private used primarily for course materials. The schools listed here offer podcasts to the public.

There are two types of links here - one to the information page for a school on iTunes U which contains the access link, and another to directly open the school's "on iTunes U" area. Obviously, the free iTunes software is needed to use these sites.

Here are the first 20 we have found:

I, too, was unable to find a comprehensive list of colleges or universities that have partnered with Apple for iTunes U. Taking another tack, I culled a list together using Google searches for iTune U.

Here's the list of 69 schools that I found which appear to have official iTunes U sites -- based on references to same in public web posting. Sorry, I don't have URL's for each, but just putting the list of 69 took several hours. (One site mentioned that there are about 300 iTunes U sites.)
