Create a course outline in iTunes U for web
Use the Info | Outline pane to create, edit, and view the outline for the current course. The outline, or syllabus, is the hierarchical description of the course content. You can use the Info | Outline pane to create the entire course outline for your students.
The outline provides the structure and sequencing for your course, ensure it is clear, concise, and well-organized. To make sure your outline is clear and concise, organize your lessons into small units of instruction.
