Getting Started with iPod touch: 10 A guide for using iPod touch and iTunes for teaching and learning To locate and download resources in iTunes U: 1 Open iTunes, then click iTunes Store (below Store in the sidebar). 2 Click iTunes U at the top of the iTunes window. (If you do not see iTunes U at the top of the window, enlarge the window by dragging the resize control in the bottom-right corner of the window.) You can view top downloads, browse content by category, or access content from a specific education institution or Beyond Campus provider. 3 To search for iTunes U items on a certain topic, enter text in the search field in the upper right of the iTunes window. The iTunes Store divides the results into categories. Click iTunes U under Filter By Media Type at the left of the window to see just the iTunes U items from the search. (If you have restricted students from using the iTunes Store in Parental Controls, you can still allow them access to search and download items from iTunes U. See "Restricting Access with Parental Controls" later in this guide for more information.) 4 Click an iTunes U title at the top of the window to view more information about it and to see a list of available audio and video tracks. Double-click an item in the list to view a 30-second preview. 5 Click Get to download the track or tracks you want. If the content is ongoing, you can then subscribe to automatically download future tracks for an iTunes U title. Often transcripts of the audio are available too. Once downloaded, you can connect an iPod touch to your Mac to sync the new files to the iPod touch. You and your students can view and listen to the content at any time. See "Resources" later in this guide for links to tutorials and a guided tour about iTunes U.
