Maricopa has signed on for iTunesU. So What is it?

 

 

How to Upload podcasts to iTunes U

 

From the Apple Website:

Education evolves.

iTunes U has arrived, giving higher education institutions an ingenious way to get audio and video content out to their students. Presentations, performances, lectures, demonstrations, debates, tours, archival footage — school is about to become even more inspiring.

 

Designed to be completely intuitive, iTunes U is based on the iTunes Store, where millions of people already get their music, movies, and TV shows. Now there’s an area of the iTunes Store devoted entirely to education, where it’s easy to search thousands of audio and video files from schools across the country.

 

Colleges and universities build their own iTunes U sites. Faculty post content they create for their classes. Students download what they need, and go. Learning isn’t just for the classroom anymore. It’s for anytime and anyplace you’ve got a Mac, a PC, or an iPod (or any mp3 player). 

 

 

 

How We Can Use iTunes U

  • Audio Guides for students: campus tour, handbook, registration guidelines, financial aide, scholarship applications
  • Supplemental classroom or textbook materials: library materials, lectures, etc.
  • Event Capture in classrooms and/or on campus: presentations, performances, sports, guest lecturers/speakers 
  • Student created multimedia for class projects: 
  • Campus Communications: Press releases, promotional opportunities,

  • For Students: advising overview, campus tour, student orientation, promote programs, promote career tracks, FAQs, How do I...?

Estrella Mountain Community College, Center for Teaching and Learning, North (CTL NORTH) 1:00 – 2:30 PM

We're doing the same presentation on our campus tomorrow from 9:30-11am in the TLC and next Thursday, Feb. 21st from 2-3:30pm in the TLC. I hope to see you there.

 

Below I created a slidecast from my presentation slides. If you prefer to learn online, have a look. You need speakers/headphones. It's the same presentation slimmed down to 15 minutes. Yes, all the good stuff is missing (demos), but you will still get the main idea. Let me know what you think.

P.S. The video I reference in this presentation, RSS in Plain English, is very good. Don't skip it. Click the link in the presentation or click here to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU

 

Feb. 1, 2008: Listen to the podcast: http://alisacooper.com/podcasts/alisapodcast.mp3  

 

Lastly, you will need to put in a Helpdesk request to have iTunes installed on your computer. I tried for campus wide distribution, but was denied. :-( So it is only on a few computers in the commons and in the TLC. That's a start.

 

So let's get this podcasting party started!

 

The list of those people who have already responded are listed below. We will get your accounts set up as soon as Delbert and I can get the tech guys to do it. Hopefully that will be soon.

 

Remember, you are committing to learning how to use iTunes U and learning how to create a podcast so you can put at least two podcasts in your area/class. For now, we are only training on how to use audio, not video. I will send out an email next week with some training dates on our campus, and there will also be some online training videos to watch. Don't forget about the district wide 4 part podcasting series that I will be teaching that begins next month. Information: http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/learnshops/podcasting/index.php
