Sierra College on iTunes UAbout Sierra College on iTunes U
Sierra College's iTunes U site went live in Fall 2008. Since then have consistently had more than 700 downloads each week...with absolutely no advertising! Needless to say, students are excited about the option to access learning content in podcast form. Podcasting enhances learning through meeting more learning styles, providing opportunity for repetition as needed and extends the option for mobile learning with an iPod.

This workshop provides you with an iTunes U account in which you will share the files you've created as outcomes of the Camtasia, Creating an Audio Podcast and/or Creating a Video Podcast workshops.
