iTunes U is not automatically available for every course—you must request to have an iTunes U course set up for every class and every semester you want to use this system.  Each course set up on iTunes U can be connected to only one Blackboard course shell.  

If you are not faculty and want to create a public iTunes U course for your department, contact the Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning and request the creation of a Blackboard organization shell.  Once that has been created, you can proceed with the following instructions.

(Thanks to Vanderbilt University for creating and distributing the iTunes U building block.)

1. 1. In Blackboard, go to the course Control Panel.

2. 2. Click on iTunes U, found under Course Tools

 You will have now have wait to upload content until your iTunes U Administrator sets up your course.  If you need immediate assistance or have not gotten a response within 48 hours, contact Ron Schildknecht.

Once your course has been set up, you will receive an email confirmation.  You will now need to create a link within your Blackboard course to take you and your students to iTunes U.
