All Things D: Apple is upping its bid for its hot-selling iPad to be a teaching device, with an update today to its iTunes U app that allows any teacher to create a private course.
App Chronicles: "So, over the weekend I finally got a chance to get all hands-on with Apple’s new iBooks 2 textbook initiative and the new iTunes U app . I’d been wanting to dig into them all week, but the time never really seemed to manifest itself."
Scott Stein, CNET:
"The official iTunes U app announced at today's Apple educational event is a coming out of the closet for iTunes U, in a more profound way than Apple's Newsstand was for magazines and newspapers. Launch iTunes U, and you're even greeted with a similar wooden bookshelf, albeit in a darker shade. That's where the similarities end."
