iTunes U fits seamlessly into your existing technologies and systems; you can use your existing web-based infrastructure to provide access to your iTunes U site.
iTunes U is designed to work with any existing web authentication and authorization system your institution may be using. You should expect to perform some level of development and system integration work for these systems. For more information, see “Using Authentication and Authorization Services.”
iTunes U requires iTunes version 7.0 or later for Mac and Windows. Apple recommends using iTunes version 8 or later. In order to guarantee a consistent user experience, always use the latest version of iTunes.
iTunes U works with most modern, standards-compliant browsers. Apple recommends using Safari 4.0 or later for Mac and Windows.
To optimize your server bandwidth and performance for feed courses and feed groups, enable byte-range serving. Enabling byte-range requests for streaming and resumption of downloads on your web server allows you to send portions of files at a time and can improve the content caching system iTunes U uses for some public content.
Note: Internet Explorer on Windows may have performance limitations when uploading files. For more information, see the Microsoft Help and Support Site at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329781.
