I Got My iPod, Textbooks, Lead Me To The Station...

Apple recently posted this on their website:

iTunes University

Basically you can access online college courses and podcasts via the iTunes Store (using iTunes). I don't think you can actually get any real course credit right now, but if you're interested in learning something for shits and giggles, this is pretty neat!

I am currently "attending" the Worlds of Wordcraft course offered by Vanderbilt University. This English course takes the world of MMORPG's (by involving the online game Lord of the Rings-Online) and blends it into literature and thought. Pretty damned cool, pals.

Also, if you're interested, head over to Texas Tech's page on the iTunes Store. If you click on the Ranching Heritage Center tab, you can listen to podcasts that are being produced by my ol' pal Robert. He hasn't recorded his own voice on there yet but he is responsible for putting these suckers together.
