Summary/Overview: ITunesU is a part of the iTunes store that is designed for use in education. This "branch" of the iTunes store is set up to be a distribution center for students, teachers and others lifelong learners. At the iTunesU site you will find information that is shared by educational institutions free of charge. You will find everything from entire coursework lectures to individual "how to" lessons that individuals have posted for others to access via a computer or download to their iPod.

Along with audio content, you will often find supporting video and text based materials that correspond with the lesson shared. The Nebraska Department of Education is one of the partnerships with iTunesU.
