iTunes U Has More Than 100 Million Downloads

iTunes U, the education-specific section of Apple’s iTunes store, has had more than 100 million downloads as of this Friday, according to Apple.

One of the most popular areas of iTunes U, according to Apple, is the UK-based Open University. It offers courses in diverse areas such as Arts and Humanities, Business and Management, Health and Social Care, and more. It caters to at least 150,000 undergraduates and 30,000 postgraduates.

More than 175 universities all over the world offer content on iTunes U, including Princeton University, Oxford University, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

I personally discovered iTunes U just this fall when I saw they had some recordings to help me with my Russian. They do certainly offer quite a variety of courses, which are quite useful for the self-motivated student.
