HAPPY EASTER SEASON, EVERYONE!
I hope everyone is basking in Christ’s glory during these days, and using that Easter hope to fuel their determination through these hectic last weeks of the semester. Thank God for the liturgical season.
While just surfing through ITunes (I was actually looking for some classical music with some xylophones because I’m a nerd) and I came across this new subheading under the ITunes store called ITunes U. It turns out, ITunes is now reaching out to colleges to put audio files of lectures and sometimes entire semester long classes on their site! Wow.
So, looking at the list of colleges, there is at least one Catholic college represented currently! AND it just so happens to be Villanova University (which is very close to most of the posters here at CC)!
I am currently downloading 19 tracks and probably 30 hours worth of lectures from their Augustinian Institute. FOR FREE! They also have a lecture series titled “United States, the World and You” which looks pretty interesting.
So what is to be said of this? How incredible? I fear, however, that I might be doing/promoting something illegal; it just feels wrong. I pay thousands of dollars to get this info at DeSales, so why is it free on ITunes? Well, I’m not really complaining.
Check it out! If you go to the ITunes homepage, just look in the left column to find ITunes U.
Have fun learning for free! Who’da thought???
Peace and God Bless,
Matt Kuhner
PS. But seriously, if I’m missing something please inform me! haha!
