iTunes U Building Block v2 released

After much anticipation, the Vanderbilt iTunes U Building Block, version 2.0.7, is finally ready. You can download the Building Block from Vanderbilt.

This building block was developed by our group as an improvement of the previous version. The new features are:

  • iTunes U course areas are automatically created when instructors initializes their courses
  • A module containing the link to iTunes U is displayed for Community System users
  • Support for managing multiple iTunes U sites with multiple Blackboard domains is included
  • Instructors can link an iTunes U course area to new Blackboard courses each semester, emulating "course area copying."
  • The ability to create additional iTunes U user roles according to Blackboard user roles and define specific permissions is available
  • The debug suffix function is operational

Many thanks to those who helped make this possible! The short list: City University of New York, University of Cincinnati, and Virginia's Community Colleges, not to mention Blackboard and Apple's iTunes U team.
