Create and edit your profile in iTunes U for web
Before you can use iTunes U to create, edit, and organize your courses, you must create your initial instructor profile.
You provide your basic instructor profile information just once. iTunes U uses your initial instructor profile information to populate the My Instructor Info page, Instructor Info For This Course dialog, and Instructor Bio. After you set up your initial profile, you can use the My Instructor Info page to add and edit your overall profile information and the Instructor Info For This Course dialog and Instructor Bio rich text editor to add and edit profile information for individual courses.
Note: If you signed in to iTunes U with a Managed Apple ID, your Apple School Manager administrator created your initial instructor profile.
