Interesting stuff on Itunes U

March 23 2009

I never heard of Itunes U until today. For those who didn’t know anything about it (like myself), it seems that some universities in the United States use the iTunes Store to share some of the lectures, conferences and even pdf files of their courses. It’s like downloading podcasts. I don’t know how many universities are using it, so far I’ve found some stuff from the University of Utah. Their College of Fine Arts has been uploading some lectures under the Center for Interdisciplinary Arts & Technology (obviusly, you will need iTunes). I had a look at “Mapping the Unseen: The Microprocessor Revolution in Art” and “Body-Driven Computer Music” and both look interesting.

I don’t have the time since we’re working on the Multi-layering project, but it might be interesting to have a look at this!

It’s in Canada too!

The design school where I did my BA has a page archiving conferences that it hosted over the years. There are only 6 as of now, but in thoses 6, 2 are in Shakespearke tongue. Most interestingly for us interaction designers is Bill Buxton‘s conference he gave in the winter of 2008. Really an amazing talk.

I think the E.U. is struggling with Apple authorities to open up iTunes U for the European market. Haven’t had time to look it up online, but what else could it be?

** Shakespeare’s tongue, that is. Sorry for the horrible typo.

Not exactly iTunes U related, but if you’re interested in graphic design and have time, the School of Visual Arts in New York has a few podcast series with some real standout episodes (old and newer) if you dig through:
