Q: View private iTunes U course from PC

Is it not possible to access materials as a student in a private iTunes U course from a PC? How about from a Mac but without having to go through an iPhone or iPad?

 

Thanks

    Hello,

    To access any content (info pages, posts, or materials) in a PRIVATE iTunes U course, you have to use an iOS device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch). PC or Mac computers WILL NOT do it.

     

    Our college has a private iTunes U authentication server. We keep it because of this exact limitation of PRIVATE iTunes U COURSE. Our Private iTunes U collections can be assessed on iOS devices or any PC or MAC computer.

     

    This limitation is only on PRIVATE iTunes U courses.

     

    For the Public iTunes U courses, however, the users can access some of the Info pages (course description and outline) and the Materials (video, audio, PDF, web links) on a PC or MAC computer.

     

    Hope this helps.

    The service of which @qqwang spoke was shut down last fall, so that option is no longer available. I encourage you to send Apple feedback on your needs:
