Earlier this year, Apple unveiled iTunes U, a vast collection of free courses to download for Apple devices.
Here’s more about the massive collection: “Learn a new language. Study Shakespeare. Discover the cosmos. It’s all possible on iTunes U, home to more than 500,000 free lectures, videos, books, and other resources on thousands of subjects. Among the hundreds of colleges, universities, and elementary and high schools on iTunes U, you’ll find Stanford, Yale, MIT, Oxford, and UC Berkeley, along with other distinguished institutions such as MoMA, New York Public Library, and more.”
We’ve been exploring the courses over the last few weeks, uncovering ten free courses for writers and readers can download right now. Topics range from zombies to Tolkien studies to creative writing; the free courses are offered by major institutions like Stanford and Oxford.
