The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) on iTunes U is a collaboration between UTK Innovative Technology Consulting (ITC) and Apple Inc. that enables faculty and staff to manage, distribute, and control access to educational audio and video content for students, faculty, and staff within a college or university using Apple's iTunes Music Store infrastructure. Apple recently unveiled a completely new version of iTunes U, a section of the iTunes Store devoted to the free distribution of educational content. On April 9, 2011, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville updated to Apple's new iTunes U public interface. This upgrade allows more flexibility in presenting and organizing content. In addition to audio and video podcasts and PDFs, iTunes U has added the support of ePub files. UTK now maintains two iTunes U sites: private and public.
