I find this whole idea simply great. First of all, the fact that most major universities in the US decided to put this information online, free for everyone, not just their students. Second, Apple providing them with the tools to do it, and providing users with the tools to use it. YouTube is a great source of information, but it lacks some sort of categorisation. I am still surprised no one has tried yet to build a directory-like version of YouTube.
If you do not feel like opening iTunes (I clearly recommend it, though!), a simple Google search for iTunes U reveals a list of universities that post content to this section of the iTunes Store: Berkeley on iTunes U, Stanford on iTunes U, MIT on iTunes U, The Open University on iTunes U.
UK Universities (The Open University of the UK, Oxford, Cambridge) are the only European universities I have found which post content to iTunes U. Would not it be great if we could have content from all over
Update 04/03/2009: Vanessa tells me she already wrote about iTunes U in Universidad, Youtube y iTunes a year and a half ago. Thank you! :)
