Many students are always searching for information and yet there are many devices and information that it makes it more accessible for anyone to gain a way in to different technologies. iTunes University can be an extremely beneficial teaching tool. Although, I don't think anyone outside of a university would benefit from it.
For those that chose to use it, I think that it is a more positive and useful resource and would benefit elementary and secondary classrooms. I think this tool can be useful if applied at a young age. If it is learned at a younger age it could follow them through to college. By using iTunes University it is easier to pull up more information like lectures, labs, and etc.

Wow! I think it is quite likely that more people OUTSIDE of universities will find iTunesU useful than inside! The only trick is helping them find out about it.
