iTunes U allows institutions to host educational videos and documents on their own servers and syndicate the content into Apple's iTunes U directory using RSS feeds or a course management system. Content is organized into collections, shows, and classes and can be accessed through iTunes on desktops or the iTunes U app on iPads, featuring customizable branding and layouts preset by Apple.

1. iTunes U Overview

3. Admin site for collections.
We host the videos and other documents on our server.
Create an RSS Feed with code so that Apple Pings - grabs the code - and puts
it into iTunes U. As we update the RSS Feed, Apple 'pings' it to get the
updates.

4. RSS Feed in an XML File:
Set it up like a Podcast page. For each document/video/material, it is
like adding a show in a podcast.

5. Apple has specific presets set up for the look of the
iTunes U account.
We are able to create a logo and background.

6. Course Manager is another way to add content to iTunesU. We
can add instructors – they can create a class, enter syllabus, outline,
Material, posts, etc. Below is an example.
