The course’s syllabus and slides will be freely available on iTunes as well. This move toward open, free information is particularly surprising coming from Apple. The tight-lipped corporation is especially peculiar about guarding its secrets, and its products are designed under a restricted, closed platform.
However, as Apple continues to expand its product line and partnerships, the corporation has recently been forced to open up — just a peep. "Stanford is very interested in not just creating knowledge but in sharing that knowledge with anyone who seeks it," said Brent Izutsu, product manager of Stanford’s iTunes U program.
Universities could teach courses on competing mobile platforms as well. iPhone Developers Go From Rags to Riches. The iPhone is a revolutionary handset.
