Intelecom, a nonprofit consortium of 31 California community colleges that develops distance-education courses, announced today that it has made 10 video lectures freely available on iTunesU, the educational section of Apple Computer’s popular music store.
Among Intelecom’s offerings: a movie that teaches the English language, a video clip about global warming, and one about nutrition. Intelecom also plans to post study guides, audio clips, and interviews with scholars.
“We see iTunesU as an excellent example of technology in support of lifelong learning and a natural extension of our core mission of making education available anytime and anywhere,” Cameron Cox, Intelecom’s vice president of marketing and members services, said in a prepared statement. —Andrea L.
