That is a lot of material. Thanks.
minor grumble: why, why, WHY do so many universities put their content on ItunesU, thus making it all but inaccessible for those of us not already using apple software.
Even dumping a pile of MP3s on a server somewhere would make your material much more accessible.

- Turing_Machine 15y agoiTunes U is essentially just a directory service for the convenience of iTunes users. The actual content is in fact still stored on the school's server, just as you say -- a very common way of populating iTunes U is through RSS feeds from some internal system (not necessarily Apple-based). If the content is free, there's no reason why they shouldn't make it available through alternate links/feeds. You could try complaining to the person in charge. :-)
