CTDLC has sponsored a state-wide contract to access Apple’s iTunes U, a free hosted service from Apple that allows K-20 institutions to offer easy access to educational content and multimedia objects like podcasts, any time, day or night. Institutions can use this repository to support both their recruitment and mobile learning needs.
CTDLC will be providing support services to help institutions get started in planning, deploying and implementing iTunes U into their academic strategies.
How to Get Started:
- Institutions should apply to iTunes U at: http://www.apple.com/itunesu/apply. In order to ensure success of an iTunes U site, it is critical for the applicant to understand their environment and how they would utilize a service like iTunes U before filling out this application. If you need help with this planning, please contact Carolyn Caggiano at the CTDLC to set up a consultation.
- Consider engaging with CTDLC for strategic consulting for site architecture, best practices implementation, and design.
- Consider joining other institutions in CTDLC's iTunes U Collaboration.
- Consider using CTDLC's Mac-based sandbox environment
- Consider signing up for a Train the Trainer and other training opportunities in the new Mac Lab at CTDLC
To get your institution started, call or email Carolyn Caggiano, ccaggiano@ctdlc.org, 860-832-3930.
