    Apple's iTunesU service (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes_u/)
    is a service hosted by Apple that supports management and
    distribution of educational audio and video content. The UW recently
    signed a contract to use iTunesU for a UW Media Relations site for the
    general public. Pilot projects using iTunesU to support courses are
    underway too.

    To access iTunesU, you use the Apple iTunes program
    (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/). Unfortunately, the user
    interface of iTunes has some significant accessibility problems.

    For this session of AccessibleWeb at U, focus your accessibility skills
    on the iTunes program, evaluate it, and then come and join us for
    a discussion. One goal is to develop a clear list of problems we see
    with this program that we can forward to Apple.
