iTunes University and Podcasting from KMi

Since late 2005 North American Universities have been using Apple's iTunes as a powerful platform to reach their students and the wider world. On June 3, 2008, Apple finally invited some other countries into this exciting channel. The 3 European Universities to launch at that time were The Open University, University College London (from the UK) and Trinity, Dublin (Ireland).
