Some of PBS's most popular stations have turned to iTunes U, a dedicated area of the iTunes Store to make their content easily available to the public. The content, including educational video clips, lectures, interviews, teacher's guides and a variety of other materials, is located in the Beyond Campus section of iTunes U.
Educators will find material such as
- an underwater journey through a coral reef
- documentary examinations of Europe, Africa and Asia
- video clips of a solar eclipse
- in-depth interviews with leading authors
- an overview of digital storytelling techniques
- lesson plans for Ken Burns's documentary THE WAR
The stations see this as an opportunity to expand the reach of their educational broadcasting and plan to add fresh content on a regular basis. The iTunes U presence also allows these stations to reach beyond their normal geographic boundaries.
