NSDL now provides access to audio, video, and other multimedia resources for science and math education through Apple’s iTunes Store. The Beyond Campus section of iTunes U provides free access to material from museums, public radio and television stations, and other non-profit educational providers. NSDL’s first offerings include content from several Pathways partners as well as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). New material will be added regularly, so NSDL projects and others that want to participate are encouraged to contact NSDL. There is no cost to use or download materials from NSDL on iTunes U. Read on to get instructions on how to download iTunes and get started.

NSDL projects and other providers who have multimedia materials that may be appropriate for inclusion in the site are encouraged to contact Susan Van Gundy.

NSDL on iTunes U allows users to:

* download videos, podcasts, educators’ guides, and other resources for teaching and learning;
