iTunes U has a new feature allowing instructors to create and distribute complete courses featuring audio, video, books, and other content. Students and lifelong learners can experience these courses for free using the iTunes U app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

The iTunes U app gives students access to all the course material in one place. They can play audio, video, read books and view presentations. They can also see a list of all the assignments for the course and check them off once complete.

Instructors use iTunes U Course Manager, a web based tool, to gather all the materials to create the course.

UCI’s OpenCourseWare is an early adopter. Current UCI courses include:

• Foundations of Public Health, Professor Oladele Ogunseitan
• Introduction to Cosmology, Professor James Bullock
• Organic Chemistry,  Professor James Nowick
• Organic Spectroscopy, Professor James Nowick
