What is iTunes U?

iTunes U is a variation of iTunes for education.  As podcasts spread in popularity colleges and univerisities wanted to tap into that new medium that reaches out to students.    As colleges and univerisities entered the podcast genre Apple decided to create a space just for education, hence iTunes U. iTunes U uses the program iTunes and provides colleges and universities space to put their content for students and community access. When you visit the iTunes store you now see the new iTunes U link which takes you to the world of higher education on iTunes - including Paradise Valley Community College.
