About affiliated and unaffiliated instructors in iTunes U for web
When you sign up and apply to be an iTunes U instructor, depending on whether or not you are officially affiliated with an iTunes U verified K12 school district, college, or university with an iTunes U Public Site Manager site, iTunes U signs you in as an affiliated instructor or unaffiliated instructor. Depending on your instructor type, iTunes U provides you with different options and features.
Instructor type | Requirements | Notes | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Affiliated | Instructors at K12 school districts as well as colleges and universities whose institutions have an iTunes U site, and their institution’s iTunes U Public Site Manager administrator added them as a contributor to the site. Note: Managed Apple IDs are automatically affiliated with their associated organization and do not need to be added to iTunes U Public Site Manager. | Affiliated instructors can access iTunes U to create, design, and distribute both public courses and private courses. Affiliated instructors have unlimited storage space. Note: If you created a course before you were an affiliated instructor, the course is not associated with your affiliation and is therefore still subject to the course limits for an unaffiliated instructor (for example, no more than 50 students). | |||||||||
Unaffiliated | Instructors not officially affiliated with an iTunes U verified K12 school district, college, or university with an iTunes U Public Site Manager site. | Unaffiliated instructors can access iTunes U to create, design, and distribute up to 12 private courses, with no more than 50 students per course. iTunes U restricts available storage space for unaffiliated instructors to 20 GB. Note: To affiliate your account, send your Apple ID to your institution’s iTunes U Public Site Manager administrator and request that the administrator add you as a contributor to the site.
