Create and distribute educational content

iTunes U is an education and reference app developed by Apple. It is a platform that allowed educators and institutions to create and distribute educational content such as courses, lectures, videos, books, and podcasts to students and learners around the world. 

Educators could use iTunes U to upload and share their educational content, including lecture videos, presentations, assignments, and readings. They could also use the app to communicate with their students, provide feedback, and grade assignments. However, it's important to note that the overall experience might have changed following the integration of iTunes U into other Apple apps.

For educators and students

The iTunes U app offered several features for educators and students. Educators had the ability to create courses using the iTunes U Course Manager, organizing course materials such as lecture videos, audio files, documents, presentations, and assignments into modules or lessons. Once created, courses could be published on the app’s platform, allowing students to browse and enroll in the ones that interested them.

Within the app, students could access course materials, including lecture videos, audio files, documents, and other resources provided by the instructor. Discussions and collaboration were facilitated, enabling students to participate in class discussions, ask questions, and provide feedback. Instructors could moderate discussions, offer clarifications, and interact with students. The app also allowed students to take notes directly within it, synchronizing them across devices for later review. 

Progress tracking was available, allowing students to monitor their completion status for each module or lesson, view grades on assignments if provided by the instructor, and track their overall progress in the course. However, this has been discontinued, and as of the integration into other Apple apps, this program is already discontinued, so it's better to check out the regular iTunes app instead.

Very handy

The overall experience of using the iTunes U app, based on user feedback and experiences before its integration into other Apple apps, varied depending on the perspective of educators and students. The iTunes U app provided educators with a platform to create and organize their educational content. The ability to incorporate various multimedia elements, such as videos, documents, and presentations, offered flexibility in delivering engaging materials to students.
