CU on iTunes U

I initiated and project managed the Coventry University partnership with Apple’s iTunes U, enabling the institution to develop a significant international profile through open sharing of teaching and research resources.

At the time of launch in June 2009 Coventry were the 6th UK institution to launch their content through this platform and since its inception it has grown to include over 1000 open multimedia resources ranging from lectures to online tutorials.

The site now attracts thousands of visitors every week and now has over 7 million hits (including the other sites where we send the content to) and includes a diverse portfolio of free content from across the University. It also enabled the University to be Highly Commended for ‘Innovation and Creative Thinking Campaign’ at the 2010 HEIST Awards. bank of america site down . As well as paving the way for a number of funded projects in the area of Open Access for the University and the development of further applications and projects.

Prominent collections in this include the Coventry Conversations series, the Photographic Mediations series and the Open Media series developed working with Coventry School of Art.
