 Local PBS stations launch iTunes U
 
 Feb 4, 2008
  by GV staff
Teachers, students, and lifelong learners now have a new source for free, educational multimedia, as PBS and local PBS stations KQED (San Francisco), WETA (Washington, DC), WGBH (Boston), and WNET (New York) are offering high-quality video clips and other educational resources on iTunes U, a dedicated area of the iTunes Store showcasing educational content.
Available in the Beyond Campus section of iTunes U, the initial online offerings from these local PBS stations include a wealth of educational video clips, lectures, interviews, teacher’s guides, and a variety of other materials.
“iTunes U presents a tremendous opportunity for WGBH to expand the reach of our educational TV, radio and Web content to a global audience,” said Jon Abbott, president, WGBH. “We look forward to making even more of our programming available in the future by regularly adding new video clips and lectures to our presence on iTunes U.”
“We’ve already discovered how offering extensive free video, audio and lesson plans has empowered teachers and students to develop the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century and to bring skills which can be applied to their own communities,” added added Tim Olson, KQED’s Interactive executive director. “iTunes U is a natural environment for public broadcasting companies in this effort.”
