Stanford using iTunes to take lectures global

When Stanford University graduate David Sellinger arrived on campus last month for reunion weekend, he was too busy to attend a talk by one of his favorite history professors.

But thanks to a pilot program the university recently launched, called Stanford on iTunes, Sellinger didn't have to miss much.

Stanford on iTunes' debut, in late October, marked the first time a university made audio content from lectures, interviews, commencement speeches and the like publicly available through a system like the iTunes Music Store.

"I absolutely love this," said Sellinger in an e-mail to the university's alumni relations department.
