NUS is the First University in South Asia to Join iTunes U

The National University of Singapore (NUS) today joins iTunes U, making educational and research content available for free to the university community and the world at large. In line with its commitment to create a dynamic “no-walls” environment for delivery of high quality educational experience, NUS is the first university in Singapore and in South Asia to join iTunes U, joining other top universities including Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California Berkeley, University of Oxford, and HEC Paris.

iTunes U is a dedicated area within the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) that offers a powerful way to distribute video, audio and podcast contents to students, faculty, staff and visitors both on and off campus. With its availability on iTunes U, NUS shares interesting content such as videos of public lectures by distinguished speakers; videos of a youth forum on championship; research achievements and publications; as well as information on student life at NUS. All content can be easily downloaded in the same way individuals access applications on the iTunes Store. In addition, the NUS Asian Research Institute, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, and NUS Press will also have an active presence at NUS on iTunes U.

Offering seamless access to our educational and research content through iTunes U is a logical way to expand our outreach to students, scholars, alumni, partners and friends.
