Learning the World

The iTunes U pilot at Lafayette College is live. I’ve been working on it — in one way or another — since Apple opened up the iTunes beta in May, and I’ve poured quite a bit of time, energy and sweat into the thing. I’m exhaustedly happy that it’s up … now we just need to get more content for it.

News of the launch of Lafayette’s Moodle pilot program and the Leopard Shorts Digital Media Competition lead off the ITS Coffee Break this week. Tech news finds Blackboard pledging not to sue open source course management systems and those who use them for infringing on its patents, while Apple Inc. and the Beatles’ Apple Corp. resolve their long running trademark dispute. Finally, Help News reviews the new Moodle, iTunes U and Word documentation that’s been posted to the ITS web site, previews upcoming workshops, and offers a quick tip on working with the iTunes Music Store’s FairPlay authorization system.
