Hello everyone, I just stumbled on a great app called iTunes U. It's filled with great psychology talks and lectures! It's perfect if your looking for a refresher course or if you are looking to learn something entirely new. Simply search for psychology or counseling (or the topics of your choice) by tapping the magnifying glass at the bottom right of the page, tap on the title, then tap on "free" to download the audio or video file. Once the download begins, you can start listening to it immediately by tapping on the title (it needs a few seconds to buffer). Have a look and tell me what you think. It's Free!
You can download the app [

Pretty cool app.
ReplyDeleteMIT started the Open Course Ware Initiative 10 years ago with an investment of $100 millions . 2000 courses are now available free online for anyone with an internet connection. It is not tied to any specific hardware platform. Someone in Africa can learn a specific subject without the need of iDevice, just internet connection. This is a good approach to reduce the Digital Divide. Check it out at "ocw.mit.edu"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!

ReplyDeleteOnce again Apple is trying to monopolize another market and take credit for its existence.
