In this video we're gonna cover how to add content to your itunes u course
content can be either
lecture recordings that are in a movie format or lecture recordings that are an
audio
PDFs, presentations
syllabus
word documents
Apps
pretty much anything you would like to share with your students that's digital
you can share through itunes u
so I'm logged into course manager
and I'm going to go into my class digital first example
now in order to add posts
in your itunes u course
you must have your outline started
now in this example I have my outline pretty much
ready to go
so I can click on the post tab
in the middle
and it will take me to my page
to add a post
all I do is click add post
when I click on topic
notice
it pulled the information
from my
outline
in the info tab
to populate the topics
so if I wanted to add something to beat miami
I can give it a title
I can put in a message
I can also put in a description
in this description
of the assignment
I want to use an action verb, because I want to tell my students what to do
with the resource that I am providing to them
so in this example it's going to be a video
so I'm going to do watch
video
of script ohio
you want to use action verbs like read
watch, listen
so the students know
what they're supposed to do
with the material you're providing
so now I've added a title, I've chosen what topic it should go under
a brief message
a brief
example of what they should be doing with this assignment and now I need to
actually attach the material
so I click attach material
in this example I'm going to add something from my computer
so I'm going to click add from my computer
now I have already created a folder
on my desktop
that goes along with this
iTunes U course
so under itunes U go bucks I've organized everything that I want to use
so if I go down here is script ohio
.mov
I click choose
and it is uploading my video of script ohio into my course
now this video is only nineteen seconds
depending on the size your video
is how long it's going to take to upload your files
I can add another
assignment
to this topic area
by clicking the plus sign
I click attach
and the same way add from my computer
this is why it is nice to have one central folder with all of your content in it
I click running on field
press choose
this video is a little bit longer
but the speed of your internet and the file size is going to determine
how fast
your videos upload
so this is about all I want to add for beat miami
I click post
if I scroll down you can now see
that it has posted
my two assignments
I click on the arrow and I can go back in and edit
what I was just doing
I'm going to hit cancel it'll take me back
now let's say I want to add something to
an area I already had
so I already have this topic beat wisconsin
it already has an assignment
if I click the arrow
I can see with this assignment is
I can change it and update it
and I can hit save
and it will update
that assignment
if I want to add another post
now this one I also want it to be under wisconsin
again attach material
this example it is a PDF
which could be a presentation that you've given
your syllabus
whatever you like, I recommend saving any word document or power point as a
PDF
because then they are readable on iPads, laptops
PCs, macs whatever the students may have
and again I click post
and notice
I have a 2011 post for beat wisconsin
and an updated one for 2012
with the game notes
so you can have multiple posts
under each topic
and again that goes back
to your outline under the info tab where you have sub-topics
so under this one I have history
which shows the 2011 game
but if I hit enter I can add another one
and I just hit save outline
and it will update it so it matches what I did with my posts
now as you're creating posts and you are uploading content the materials tab
I'm going to click on materials
starts updating as well
notice just a minute ago I uploaded the script ohio video
if I click on
the I
it'll give me a little bit a information about the script ohio
notice how it says no author name
I'm going to click edit
and I'm going to put in my name because I actually recorded this video
and I can put in a brief description
I can choose the license just like I chose a license for my course
and I hit save
and now it will update my materials
I can also move my materials around in the list
so that it will go in a different order for the students
it will populate your list of materials
based on when you've uploaded them
if I wanted to add a material directly
into my material section
I'd just click add material
choose from my computer
enter an iTunes store link
which would be
for an App
and you can see in this example I have provided an App link
enter a web link which may be a youtube video
which in this example I have multiple YouTube videos that I have pulled
for this course
if I click on post it takes me back
and again
just at a post
choose your topic
enter your information
and be sure to click post
which saves your information in the bottom right corner
so that is how to add
your content
your posts and your materials
to an iTunes U course
again
the structure
is always placed from the outline you created under the info tab
in the next video we will talk about how you share this information with students
