MIT at the center of iTunesU

I saw that iTunesU went up a while ago and I think it’s really cool that iTunes is making the distribution of these materials even easier than it already is.  There is actually a ton more material available available on http://ocw.mit.edu, but this is a great way to broaden the audience for MIT’s course materials.  It’s just weird to see myself in the streaming video of the 3.091 Intro to Solid State Chemistry lectures on iTunes.  I definitely never thought while I was taking that class that someday my notetaking and mid-class joking around might one day be streamed to the world via iTunes.

I recently got this promo from apple via email and just thought it was cool that MIT is right there in the center of it  :-) .

    Open Courseware is AWESOME. I found it a little over a year ago and “took” a class in urban planning. What a great way to democratize information and improve access to higher learning. You should be VERY proud to attend a school that believes in this!
