WEBVTT 00:06.770 --> 00:11.960 Lastly, I want to talk about is iTunes you, of course, manager, and I'm just going to do a brief 00:11.960 --> 00:12.950 introduction to this. 00:13.340 --> 00:14.570 There's a lot that goes into it. 00:14.570 --> 00:16.760 It's a really intuitive application. 00:16.760 --> 00:18.560 It's available on the Web. 00:18.560 --> 00:20.720 It's also available through the iTunes U. 00:21.320 --> 00:23.660 Application or app on the iPad. 00:24.470 --> 00:25.870 And you can do a lot with it. 00:25.880 --> 00:33.470 I think it's a really neat instructional tool for you both on ground and online instruction. 00:33.470 --> 00:36.440 So just going to go ahead and hit continue past this. 00:38.890 --> 00:45.640 And the basic overview of iTunes, of course, manager is a listing of all of your courses that you're 00:45.640 --> 00:52.480 currently teaching listed on the left hand side here, materials that are available for students that 00:52.490 --> 00:53.280 are enrolled. 00:53.290 --> 00:55.380 You can do live discussions and posts. 00:55.750 --> 00:57.400 So it's not an Elm's. 00:57.400 --> 01:02.010 Apple's always very quick to say iTunes using a learning management system. 01:02.020 --> 01:07.900 It's not meant to replace Blackboard or, you know, any of the other Elam's solutions that are out 01:07.900 --> 01:09.010 there, the popular ones. 01:09.550 --> 01:12.570 But it does offer a lot of really cool things. 01:12.580 --> 01:17.650 It's got some great integration on the iPad, especially if you're using iPad to teach with. 01:17.650 --> 01:25.960 So I'm going to use this iPad orientation course that I've developed over the years and just basically 01:25.960 --> 01:29.200 gives you a layout here of the course description. 01:29.200 --> 01:33.100 All these things are editable, so you can edit your settings and you've got your ability to fill all 01:33.100 --> 01:34.060 these things out. 01:35.040 --> 01:40.470 And put an image and things like that in there, so we'll just say that we're not going to make any 01:40.470 --> 01:41.210 changes. 01:44.720 --> 01:49.820 You can add more than one instructor, so I'm the current instructor of the course, but I can add contributor's 01:49.820 --> 01:54.950 so I can have a team of people developing the course monitor and of course, managing the course for 01:54.950 --> 01:55.640 me and with me. 01:58.700 --> 02:03.110 You build out your course outline, so you basically do this first and then it's just, you know, you 02:03.110 --> 02:07.130 can copy and paste the outline of another application or you just enter directly in here. 02:07.430 --> 02:08.840 You can rearrange it as needed. 02:11.630 --> 02:16.880 And then when you get into actually building out your horse, you go into posts and you start to add 02:17.240 --> 02:17.570 things. 02:17.570 --> 02:21.080 So you have, for example, the first module, right? 02:21.110 --> 02:22.130 So I've got this. 02:22.280 --> 02:27.650 I can put my information in here, what the course is about, like an edit it here and then I can go 02:27.650 --> 02:28.910 ahead and add different files. 02:28.920 --> 02:33.220 I've got PowerPoint files, I've got videos, I have Web links that I can add. 02:33.440 --> 02:39.470 I can start a discussion so I can have a discussion with the students in the course about what's happening 02:39.470 --> 02:40.730 in this particular module. 02:41.030 --> 02:43.430 And that can all be very interactive on the iPad. 02:43.520 --> 02:44.180 You can do it. 02:44.180 --> 02:49.010 I can be on my Mac, my students can be on their iPads and we can still interact with each other in 02:49.010 --> 02:50.390 these discussions. 02:50.930 --> 02:55.970 There's a checkbox of the students as they complete the course, they can check off each one of these 02:55.970 --> 02:56.540 sections. 02:58.330 --> 03:02.260 You can look at all posts, as I had shown before, they have everything basically laid out for them 03:02.260 --> 03:06.540 here and then there's a great materials tab where you can just look through all the materials. 03:06.820 --> 03:13.630 So we've got links to apps on the App Store that they should use for my course, links out to different 03:13.630 --> 03:14.580 things on the Web. 03:16.560 --> 03:20.880 Documents that I may have uploaded PDF and things like that, PowerPoint presentations. 03:22.400 --> 03:27.620 And then videos that I've uploaded as well, whether those be demos, lectures or other things. 03:27.650 --> 03:31.850 So if you're working on sort of that flipped classroom scenario, this is where you can record all of 03:31.850 --> 03:35.980 your content and then make it available to students and then organize it into posts. 03:36.500 --> 03:40.730 So I'm not going to go super in-depth into into iTunes course manager. 03:40.730 --> 03:44.510 I just wanted to give you guys kind of an overview of what it is and what it can do. 03:45.410 --> 03:47.270 It's it's a really cool tool. 03:47.270 --> 03:51.890 And if you choose to implement it in your organization, definitely spend some time using it. 03:51.980 --> 03:58.160 I'd recommend getting a couple of your more tech savvy faculty, early access to the tool and let them 03:58.160 --> 03:59.600 see what they can do with it as well. 03:59.780 --> 04:05.600 It's been well received in my organization and it's been a vital tool for a lot of the things we do 04:05.600 --> 04:06.190 in the classroom.
