What is PVCC on iTunesU?

Apple essentially gives colleges and univerisities free space on their streaming server and access to the iTunes U infrastructure.  Not all colleges and univerisities have access as there is an application process and a great deal of legal logistics to work out.  Maricopa was given space on iTunes beginning in June of 2007.  The district colleges are working collaboratively and individually to get their spaces up.  We share best practices as best as we can and help each other with techinal issues.  Each college is responsible for their own implementation and some colleges are farther along than others.  Eventually there will be a Maricopa iTunes U launch page that will link out to the various college pages however right now only a couple of us have ours up and running for pilot testing.   PV has done an outstanding job jumping in and testing the waters.  Now we need you to bring in the crucial instructional applications!  http://itunes.pvc.maricopa.edu/
