    Of course you can, I'm viewing my course right now on a Windows machine running 7.  You will not be able to take advantage of the functions that come with the iTunes U app like course notes.

    Are you really sure that you view a course from course manager? I think that chadders mean private courses not public ones.

    For public courses (published through public site manager), they do appear in iTunesU and can be accessed with iTunes on Mac or PC.

     

    However, be aware that the structure of the materials in course manager does not seem to be preserved when viewed this way.

     

    In my experience, you will end up with what looks like a rather cluttered collection of assets. I don't believe you can control the sequence in which they appear either.

    The order of assets can be controlled by the author of the course in the materials list for the course. If the author has set up the materials list in a logical sequence in Course Manager, that sequence is maintained when the user of a Windows computer views the course in the Windows version of iTunes. It is not necessary for the Windows user to have an iOS device to view the materials of the course. In iTunes, the Windows user goes to the store, selects the course, and downloads whatever assets he wants from the list, which are stored in his iTunes library. To view the materials the user switches to the library where they can be accessed.
