Apple is pairing up with universities from across the country to try to create a new iTunes, known as iTunes-U. This program will be a free educational posting service for educators. With this service instructors can upload videotaped or audio recorded lectures to iTunes and students can download them to their iPods or watch it at their computers. This way information is available to students 24/7.
The only real problem being looked at right now is attendance. The launch of this new product may decrease the amount of students attending classes in order to stay at home or watch it from their ipod screen.
I think it would be great to act as a type of carmen for highschools. Students who miss classes would be allowed access to try to catch up on missed work, etc.
