Hi there,
In theory, would getting people to pay online using something like paypal to allow enrolment in an iTunes U course be allowed? I realise it's not really in keeping with the idea of iTunes U, but our company are spending a lot of time creating these courses and are independent from a particular institution.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
iTunes U does not allow charging for the online courses, though an institution can create private sites accessible only to students registered in an applicable course for which the student may have to pay tuition. iTunes U is not available to private companies, however, only to educational institutions and K-12 school districts. Here's their official statement:
iTunes U is a free service available to qualifying K-12 public school districts, and private schools, as well as two- and four-year accredited, degree-granting, public or private colleges and universities.
so if you're a private company, iTunes U will not be available to you.
Regards.
Do iTunes U courses have to be free?
