Butte College, iTunes U
Butte College this fall is set to join the many educational institutions which have already adopted a new form of instruction, using Apple's iPod and iTunes U service to deliver lectures and other content digitally to students and faculty. Butte philosophy instructor Dan Barnett commented on the new technology, saying that it is definitely breaking down the walls of traditional classrooms. "It's a new world out there," Barnett said. Students will be able to download podcasts of lectures and documentaries, among other material, for listening or watching on Apple's iPod or a home computer. Apple's iTunes U service recently adopted three more schools that include Duke University's Fuqua School of Business in North Carolina, North Carolina Central University (NCCU), and Ohlone College.
