Initial Research
MIIS iTunes U Presence
http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/miis.edu
Site Design
- University of Michigan has a great 3-column layout
- Can include dynamic elements such as "Top Downloads"
- Need to have a public presence on iTunes in order to be granted the Public Feature Page template used by Michigan, Stanford, Duke, etc.
Application Process
- Far less likely to get a site as a department of an institution.
- For example, if you say, "We're the Theatre Department of Generic U and we'd like a site if we can get it," you are far less likely to get a site than if you say, "We're Generic U and we'd like a site if we can get it.
Timeline
- Submitted for approval on Tuesday 11/19/2008
- Approved 12/15/2008
- Should appear in public iTunes Store within 3 weeks of approval date
Additional Work to be Done
Contact Apple
- To get the three-column format, ask Apple to create a public site with the public features page for you.
Write Style Guide
Create Launch/Support Page
- Needs to be created
