ITunes U collections will move to Apple Podcasts soon. The transition will happen with the release of iTunes 12.7 in September. ITunes U was first launched back in 2007 as a giant repository of educational material from university around the globe. It later expanded the service with the introduction of the iTunes U app in 2012. How to access iTunes U course content on your Mac or PC computer using the iTunes application.

Apple has informed educational institutions with iTunes U content that it will migrate iTunes U collections to Apple Podcasts when iTunes 12.7 is released in September (via MacStories).
Apple launched iTunes U in 2007 as a free repository of educational content through the iTunes Store, allowing educators to create course collections comprising audio, media, handouts, ebooks, and other bundled content. In 2012, Apple introduced the iTunes U iOS app, enabling users to access their collections within an app container.
However, from September, existing iTunes U collections will be automatically converted to podcasts to become accessible through the Podcasts app and the Podcasts section of iTunes on a Mac or PC. According to Apple, the iTunes U section will be removed from the desktop version of iTunes at the same time, meaning the public iTunes U course catalog will only be accessible from iOS devices.
With the migration to the Podcasts app, iTunes U collections will be assigned podcast categories automatically, but Apple cautions that they may differ from the ones previously assigned in iTunes U. The good news for collection creators is that they can use the iTunes Podcast Site Manager to change the category at any time.
Apple Podcasts supports all media types currently supported by iTunes U collections, with the exception of ePub files, according to Apple's iTunes U Public Site Manager support page. If collections contain ePub files, content creators are advised to replace the ePub files with another file type (for example, a PDF file).
MacStories notes that this advice contradicts Apple's Podcasts Connect support page, which says ePub files are supported by podcasts. We'll update this article if Apple provides clarification on this point.

With this change, users can access your collections using the Apple Podcasts app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, and using iTunes on Mac and PC. Your public iTunes U Collections will automatically be migrated and all links redirected into Apple Podcasts at the time of transition. While no action is required for the migration, we recommend that institutions review their current iTunes U Collections and remove out-of-date or unneeded content before the transition to Apple Podcasts.The takeaway for end users is that from next month the iTunes U iOS app will only include courses, not collections, and there will be no way to download iTunes U course materials on a Mac.

Every child is born full of creativity. Nurturing it is one of the most important things educators do. Creativity makes your students better communicators and problem solvers. It prepares them to thrive in today’s world — and to shape tomorrow’s. For 40 years, Apple has helped teachers unleash the creative potential in every student. And today, we do that in more ways than ever. Not only with powerful products, but also with tools, inspiration, and curricula to help you create magical learning experiences.
Products for Learning
Technology designed to be as limitless as a child’s imagination.
Apple products put complete freedom of expression in the hands of every student who uses them. iPad is simple enough for anyone to master right from the start, and flexible enough to let students go wherever their ideas take them. Mac provides the power to pursue even the most ambitious projects. And with a full suite of Apple-designed apps made for creation, both iPad and Mac give students a canvas as limitless as their imaginations.
Tools for Teaching
Apps that help you put the power of technology to work. In and out of class.
We’ve developed tools to make it easy for you to guide how your students use devices and apps in the classroom, and to provide valuable insight into each student’s progress. So you can focus on what’s most important: teaching.
Everyone Can Create
Project guides that unleash creativity in every student.
When students have more ways to express ideas, it changes how they think. They see things they wouldn’t otherwise see and make connections they wouldn’t otherwise make. With this in mind, we’ve worked with educators to design a curriculum with project guides to help you ignite creativity and give your students the skills to communicate through drawing, photography, music and video. So your students can put math equations to music, bring an illustrator’s eye to social studies, and make scientific processes come alive on film.

Teaching Code
An immersive program to help you teach the language of innovation.
Coding is essential to help students thrive in a future driven by technology. We created the comprehensive Everyone Can Code curriculum with lessons on iPad and Mac, teacher guides, and apps to make it easy to teach coding in your classroom. Because we believe coding isn’t extracurricular — it’s part of the core curriculum.
We’ve designed curriculum that makes it easy to bring coding and core creative skills to every subject. And programs to help teachers learn from one another, professional learning resources to build skills and confidence with iPad and Mac, and initiatives to recognize pioneers in education. All to empower you to be the best teacher you can be.
IT and Deployment
Apple devices are as easy to deploy as they are to use.
https://yellowsunny497.weebly.com/war-games-for-mac.html. We want every aspect of your school’s experience with Apple products to be as simple and intuitive as the products themselves. That starts with support for IT in each step of your deployment. And now with Microsoft Azure Active Directory support, it’s easier than ever to integrate iPad and Mac into your learning environment.
How to Buy
Rethink the cost of technology in your classrooms.

When you expect more from the technology you use in the classroom and look for what's best for teaching and learning, iPad is the clear winner over other less expensive options. And when you look closely at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for your deployment, you may find that iPad costs less and gives you more over its lifetime. Dragon for mac 5.0.
