iTunes U - Free courses & lectures from universities

I haven't seen it mentioned much here, but I've been browsing iTunes and noticed their efforts to promote iTunes U within the interface. iTunes U is a special selection of podcasts released by colleges & universities that cover many topics including course lectures, guest speakers, debates, and tutorials. As you'll see, some of the feeds are set up as a collection of discussions while others have a very class-like format, even including PDFs of the syllabus and assignments.

I searched for "graphic design" and found a wealth of content. Here is quick list of some of the more interesting classes I found. All the links will open in iTunes, which is avilable for Windows or Mac. You can download it here. You do not need an iPod to listen/watch these files. They can be played on your computer and on most other portable media players.

- Art & Identity: The Artist Lecture Series. College of Fine Arts, University of Arizona.

- Design & Designing. Open University.

- Art, Design, Media. RMIT University.

- MFA Graphic Design. Otis College of Art & Design.

- MFA Designer as Author. School of the Visual Arts.

- Graphic Design I/Web Design I. Miami Dade College

- Arts, Culture, and Media. Coventry University.

- Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Visitors Series. School of Art & Design, University of Michigan.

- Yale Arts & Architecture. Yale University.

- This last one isn't about art or design, but I found it interesting. It's a Harvard class for computer engineers that want to learn how to develop graphics software. Introduction to Computer Graphics and GPU Programming. Harvard Extension School.

Thanks for sharing Surf! I'm up to my ears in podcasts (pun not intended), but you've given me a reason to edit my podcast list!

very cool. Thanks
I might get back into podcasts and give a few a listen.

I used to listen to podcasts but then a break caused a backlog of podcasts and i eventually gave up on them....these look good though.
