Add a library material in iTunes U for web
Adding materials can help you enhance your course information by providing your students with additional reading materials, examples, homework worksheets, artwork, audio and video content, and so on. When you attach a variety of learning materials, there are no limits to how creative you can make your assignments and, in turn, how creative your students can be when handing in homework projects for those assignments. Materials you add to My Materials Library are available for you to add to any of your courses.
