“Apple Inc. is expanding the free educational content available on its online iTunes Store beyond lectures and videos from universities,” The Associated Press reports.
“Materials ranging from recordings of Supreme Court arguments and public radio broadcasts on the civil rights movement to video interviews with sculptor Richard Serra are among the offerings under a new category called ‘Beyond Campus,'” AP reports.
“The section can be found within iTunes U, a free service which Apple has offered to universities since 2006 to distribute their course lectures or other digital content through the iTunes Store,” AP reports.

I want to learn how to give an electrifying speech, like that kid in Florida.
This is great news. Besides there being much content of great value for free via this service, Apple needs to keep differentiating its product (iTS) to keep ahead of the competition.
Some of the iTunes U lectures are very interesting, and are akin to podcasts in the sense that they are both free and freely accessible.
Dont taze me bro..Aaahh aaahh!

Hooked on iPodonics worked 4 me!!

When will iPhone get a book reader and iTunes get an eBook library??
@bookworm
When will you learn to read for yourself?
iTunes sells audio books almost since its inception…
Whoa, don’t tease me bro!
“We don’t need no education.”
didn’t faze me, bro
C’mon! TAZE ME! Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.
. . . . oh yeah.
This will bring great publicity to Apple and may even remake iTunesU into an archive.org.
iPudTouch,
Where is your brother iSpudTouch?
Not to be outdone, the Zune Marketplace is offering 20 free barn animal sounds and a DRM-free recording of Ballmer belching the alphabet.
@bookworm
Gotta agree, would luv a eBook section in iTunes.
Imagine all the great professors of college courses on Itunes. This will mean we don’t need all those new campus buildings. Someday we might subscribe to direct TV through itunes. All we need is bandwidth.

DirectTV is just a middle man. You won’t need them.
“I smart”.
(something I heard a girl teaching her child to say. I swear.)
Quit with the free handouts!
All this does is encourage illeagal aliens and welfare mothers.
Its un-American.
Magic Word: “freedom.” As in: even the ‘dom’ is free. Damn MDN socialists with their gay-loving, free-healthcare, and anti-death agenda.
