I want to view my iTunes U material on my mac
I am attending a course using my iPad with Itunes U, where the tutor sends us materials which download in the "Library" on the iPad.
I have iTunes U on my mac, and I am signed in as a teacher. This is not the role in which I want to download the materials of the course.
iTunes U seems to be only for iPad and iPhone.
So, therefore, am I attempting the impossible when I ask my mac to produce the course materials which are present on the iPad?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
