Itunes University

Well I was exploring Itunes U. the other day and found quite a bit of interesting stuff. The specific group of podcasts that I downloaded were from the Stanford Center for Social Innovation. I am currently listening to the Muhammad Yunus talk on “Creating a Poverty-Free World.” I’ll report on what I learn, but this has encouraged me to keep developing an idea I have for a non-profit (which was going to be part of my Chicago GSB sliderama). Anyways, check that U category out on Itunes - it’s much better that listening to stranger’s conversations on the train or one more stupid Britney update on CNN.

I didn’t see anything from Kellogg on there yet, but I’m sure they are either working on it. If they are not, I’ll be sure to bring it up once I’m on campus. It is a great distribution channel for any school, plus great speeches should be shared beyond the confines of the 300-500 people that are sitting in an auditorium. I hope that our site: www.kellogg.northwestern.edu will also improve in the future. I watched several convocations online, but come on: bandwith is cheap!
