iTunesU for Faculty and Staff

iTunesU is a safe and secure way to upload documents for class. It is also a way to make sure your content, specifically media, is secure and cannot be viewed by the public. This allows users to have more freedom with their content for class. They can post lectures, presentations, notes, PDF's, in full form without having to worry about copyright or other people stealing content.
