iTunes U at The Open University: developing an editorial framework and scaleable production workflows: a case study for an online platform

  • Stewart Nixon, Catherine Chambers & Nicholas Watson, The Open University, UK

Presentation unavailable

The Open University launched in iTunes U in June 2008. With almost 4 million downloads by over 400,000 unique users worldwide, the OU on iTunes U plays a key part of the University’s commitment to extend the provision of Open Educational Resources.  Featuring audio visual material selected from over 100 courses covering a range of subject areas, iTunes U offers potential students a taster of what they may expect on the course. In addition, the platform enables course teams to refresh existing course material with audio academic perspectives that share the lecturer’s passion for the subject as well as a more detailed analysis of the audio visual course material.  This paper will tell the story of the Open University’s iTunes U production process, sharing our experience of developing an institutional podcasting production process and how it has influenced academic thinking and course design.
