In a creative and unexpected move, Stanford has teamed up with Apple
to offer a variety of audio files, such as news, music, sports, and
faculty lectures, available for download from the iTunes Music Store
for free, by anyone. It's called Stanford on iTunes, and at the same
time that some files are available to the public, course material and
advising content is available for students connecting from within
Stanford's network. Although the total number of tracks available is
only a few hundred at the moment, more are being added soon,
demonstrating exciting possibilities for a system like iTunes and the
iPod in education.
The iTunes Music Store is becoming increasingly a misnomer for what
is manifesting as a media delivery and sharing platform. Was this
Steve Jobs' plan all along? In 2001 when iTunes 1.0 was first
released, who would have guessed that universities might use it for
courses?
