Our courses on iTunes U
Samples from many Open University courses are free to download from iTunes U. They'll give you the flavour of our first class learning materials but they won't give you the full experience of working closely with your personal tutor and fellow students. You have to sign up for a full course to enjoy that.
To access all the OU podcasts on iTunes U you have to join iTunes. If you aren't a member, click iTunes membership.
If you've already joined iTunes, the links below will take you straight to some of our popular free podcasts.
