Something my employer is currently working towards is joining the Apple iTunesU project. Basically iTunesU uses the popular iTunes Store to deliver free video and audio lectures from universities across the world. Most of the universities are in the US still as you would expect but a few already are from the UK including the Open University as one would imagine they would be in at the start!
Unfortunately my current course is not covered on the OU's iTunesU site though my course last year is, with a number of video lectures. iTunesU has been a great success for the OU with the million download mark being reached last October.
There are a number of interesting history lectures on iTunesU already, i have just been watching a video lecture given by David Starkey for Cambridge University on the British Monarchy for example. Maybe next i'll start listening to a lecture series on British Parliamentary and Electroral Politics 1688-1832 from the University of Warwick...
