If you want your marketing to reach its online audience, go & find them. Take your product to where the audience already meets. If your audience is made up of sceptical teenagers, well, you’d need to turn up with a credible brand partner. Universities, Apple & iTunes Apple - Education - iTunes U: there could hardly be a stronger combination.

I love the idea of lectures being podcast (which already happens informally elsewhere) - far better to view a missed lecture online than to read a friend’s notes.
