iTunes U goes International, eh

Queens University of Kingston, Ontario is the first non-United-Statesian university to begin offering downloadable content via the iTunes music store. Yesterday, Queens joined Stanford, Duke, and Berkeley as part of iTunes U, Apple's free hosted service for colleges and universities. The Queens University site offers "public lectures, debates, sports highlights and more"--or at least it plans to. Current highlights include convocation lectures (which I am sure are just as fascinating as the material suggests--isn't it interesting that some of the first content caters to administration vanity?), lectures from EECS assistant professor Tom Dean, and material from CFRC, the student-run radio station.

Thanks, Ben.
