All the materials for a course.
Just a tap away.

Whether you’re taking a European history course in your spare time, learning Spanish in high school, or majoring in molecular biology at a university, you now have a powerful tool to help you get the most out of your classes. The new iTunes U app expands the classroom experience by putting all the materials for a course — audio and video, new iBooks textbooks for iPad1 and other books, a syllabus and class assignments, posts from the instructor, PDFs, presentations, and more — just a tap away on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.2

Keep up with your course wherever you are.

When you take an iTunes U course, you’ll always have the most current information at your fingertips. With a tap, you can listen again to the most recent lecture or review the latest presentation to make sure you got all the details. Stay on top of your assignments and check them off as you complete them. And when an instructor sends a message or creates a new assignment, you’ll receive a push notification with the new information.

Everything works together.

iTunes U integrates with iBooks and other apps to make it easy to keep up with your coursework. All the books for your course are organized right on the bookshelf — even the incredible new iBooks textbooks for iPad.1 Just tap one and start reading. To return to the course view, swipe with four fingers. If you take notes in iBooks, they’re consolidated for easy reviewing in the iTunes U app. If your assignment includes watching part of a video, you can tap a link to go straight to the correct spot in the video. And iTunes U keeps your documents, notes, highlights, and bookmarks up to date on all your devices.
