University, for your ears.


Otago University has gone all trendy on us and is the first university in New Zealand to offer learning on itunes U

So for those of you who have had a hankering for some extra learning, you can download selected lectures for free - yes, free.

I'm guessing, and hoping they've selected the most interesting and dynamic lecturers, (otherwise there's the risk of it being a soporific) across business, science and humanities. There's also Wild Flicks, so you can download films from the Science and Natural History film-making students.

Free brain food here.

    And hopefully the audio quality will be adequate too. There is at least one I must have a listen to - Nicky Hager ace reporter, investigative journalist and author of "Hollow Men".

    I'll download it now and report back.

    Reporting back: Audio quality seems good. I downloaded the Hager mp3 (12 MBs) and played it on my CoolPlayer 219 available from: http://coolplayer.source.net
