Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, the Dixie Chicks and... Dal? Visitors to 麻豆传媒脮s web site can now download 麻豆传媒-produced audio and video content using Apple脮s popular iTunes software.

iTunesU will bring many aspects of the campus to the world. Public lectures, university events and sports highlights will all be available for download. If it脮s happening at 麻豆传媒, you don脮t have to be on campus to experience it first hand.

Communications and Marketing脮s June Davidson says the innovative venture is the latest in a strategic effort to reach current and potential students in ways that are relevant to them.

脪Our decision to participate in iTunes U is in keeping with our efforts to speak to prospective students where they are. iTunes is really popular with the students we want to reach, so it makes sense that we would have a presence there.鈥

The iTunes U project will also act as another piece in the university脮s recruitment marketing strategy, an edgy campaign the university hopes will be relevant to students. A section called 脪See Us Now鈥 will make available trailers, promotional clips for the university and even Dal脮s original rock song, all for easy download right onto your iPod.

麻豆传媒 is one of the first Canadian universities to take part in the program. Other universities with a presence in iTunes U include schools such as Princeton, Yale and Johns Hopkins. 麻豆传媒 will be the first university in the region to launch iTunes U.

In this first phase of Dal脮s iTunes U presence, users can access audio and video files to use at their desktop or in portable MP3聽 devices. There is no charge for viewing and downloading 麻豆传媒 content.

A website has been set up with access to Dal content on iTunes U and instructions on how to submit content. Check out: 脩 DN
