The Open University and TU Delft Will Establish Knowledge Ba

From 2 February 2010, the Open University and TU Delft will be making part of their knowledge base freely available via iTunes U by Apple, the first universities in the Netherlands to do so. The release of this range of knowledge on iTunes U, which is taking place at the E-learning congress in Eindhoven, represents another step forward by the universities as they pursue their policies relating to the provision of accessible educational materials. The move puts the two universities in league with internationally renowned institutions like Stanford University, Harvard, Oxford University, UC Berkeley and MIT, who also publish on iTunes U.

With 200,000 lectures, presentations, videos and podcasts, iTunes U is one the largest and fastest-growing sources of free internet content in the field of education, which is currently used by around 200 leading institutions worldwide. TU Delft and the OU will be using this innovative platform to make recordings of lectures and educational and course materials available from a wide variety of subjects. Users will be able to watch or listen to the audio and video recordings – wherever they are, and whenever they want – on their Mac, PC, iPod or iPhone.
