Q: Materials are not being retained on the iPad
I have used iTunes U with my maths classes with great success for several years now. However, with the latest app update I have many students complaining that they download the materials while they are at school but when they arrive home they find the materials are gone. Many of my students have no internet access at home so being able to store the course content on their iPad for use at home is crucial.
I know that this was not the case before but has suddenly started with the recent iTunes U upgrade, as multiple student have been disrupted by this issue.
Are there any new settings that I'm not aware of that may be causing this issue or is it glitch on the iTunes U server end? The "storing material on the iPad" feature is what drew me to use iTunes U over other content delivery options so it's very disappointing that it has started playing up and disrupting my student's ability to learn.
Looking forward to a solution.
