As our lives are becoming more digital, the way we acquire knowledge is also transforming. With the success of the iPod and the iTunes Stores, Apple has now created iTunes University, a service that allows users to access published/protected university content at anytime. As Yale SOM continues its rapid transformation, what better way to complement this movement than by partnering with Apple and iTunes University?

For example, should Yale SOM build a site on iTunes University, students will potentially be able to access special lectures, guest speakers from our lecture series, and all sorts of other innovative Yale SOM content via audio/video podcasts.

Other top schools are on iTunes. Why shouldn’t Yale SOM?

[If anyone is interested is seriously pursing this, please let me know. I have actually already started doing some due diligence on this idea.]

Yale is on iTunes. Adding SOM should be easy.

Great idea, Uday. Like you said, sounds easy and it should happen.

Gregg Friedman, Jan 23 2007

Great idea though I am not sure of privacy/security on iTunes for official stuff!

Sachin, Jan 23 2007

I think Barry Nalebuff has a lecture on iTunes.
