I still find it mind blowing that I’m still paying off my 3 years at uni – an education I probably could have gotten for free online if I’d only waited a few years for iTunes U to launch…

There are currently 150 media files available, with the promise of more to be added regularly, including lectures from notable figures Tim Flannery and former Prime Minister of New Zealand Mike Moore. There are podcasts, vodcasts and all manner of other content as well, including short documentaries on life at the Uni.

If you ever want to act like you’re smarter than you actually are, then this is definitely the first place to go…
