Take NSDL With You Wherever You Go
NSDL now provides access to audio, video, and other multimedia resources for science and math education through Apple’s iTunes Store. iTunes U is a free service that gives users of Apple's iTunes access to audio and video from leading educational institutions. The Beyond Campus section of iTunes U includes museums, public radio and television stations, and other non-profit educational providers. The launch of NSDL on iTunes U Beyond Campus includes content from Pathways partners like AMSER, ChemEd DL, and the Exploratorium, plus material from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Popular materials include ChemEd DL's popular Chemistry Comes Alive! videos; interviews with NCAR scientists on the causes and evidence for global climate change; and a series by Dr. Stephanie Chasteen of the Exploratorium's Teacher institute on the impact of nanotechnology on science, art, and commerce. There is no cost to use or download materials from NSDL on iTunes U.
Content will be added on a regular basis, so NSDL projects and other providers who have multimedia materials that may be appropriate for inclusion in the site are encouraged to contact Susan Van Gundy.
