While some are looking for online degrees to start new careers, others seek free online classes to enhance the knowledge that they already have. Whether you are looking to bolster your already-existing career, or sound like a trivia whiz at a party, Itunes U offers an expansive library of free online classes at your fingertips.
From esteemed universities such as Stanford, Oxford, Yale, and UC Berkeley, the free online classes in iTunes U offers over 350,00 lectures, videos, and other products to expand your knowledge. Users have the option of watching slide shows, accessing books and film, or downloading audio right on to their iPods to listen on the go.
If you are already a student, you may be happy to find out that your university is already utilizing iTunes U and that you can access those free online courses as part of your curriculum. It is also a great option for alumni to have access to continuing education in their field. Additionally, enrolled students are also privy to private content that is available only to them and those taking the course, so that you can maximize your education in as many ways as possible.
Perhaps one of iTunes U’s best features is that they work with VoiceOver built-in screen reading technology, which enables vision-impaired learners to still be able to follow the offered courses. The same program offers integration with iPhone and iPod Touch, and spoken feedback for the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle.
Because the content on iTunes U free online courses is available through the regular iTunes program, you can access your classes from any Apple device, no matter where you are. Whether from your iPad at a cafe, or your Mac or PC in your dorm room, online audio and visual enhancements to your degree program and existing knowledge-base is at your fingertips!
