iTunes U Services For ALL! Join the itunesuwish

Join the #itunesuwish twitter stream for change!

WHAT?

"...iTunes U is a free service available to qualifying two- and four-year accredited, degree-granting, public or private colleges and universities in the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. Universities and Colleges must enter into an iTunes U Service Agreement before being eligible to use the iTunes U service. Apple reserves the right to determine eligibility. (Source)"

But lets be positive! We are talking about iTunes U and the legend Steve Jobs here, so lets hope they will change for the better, and really carry out the democratization of expertise and learning beyond this little world of 21.
