More than 1,000 recordings from the prestigious London School of Economics and Political Science’s public lectures programme and nearly 400 videos are now available to download from the LSE on iTunes U, a dedicated area of the iTunes Store (www.itunes.co.uk|).
The podcasts of LSE public lectures include speakers from across the globe with talks by academics such as Professor Paul Krugman and Professor Amartya Sen, as well as politicians such as prime minister David Cameron and former prime minister Gordon Brown. George Soros, Ben Bernanke of the US Federal Reserve, Cherie Blair and Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook also feature. This content can be enjoyed by any iTunes user on their Mac or PC, iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. LSE on iTunes U will bring these lectures to an even wider audience.
LSE on iTunes U will also host LSE’s extensive range of online videos, from the research videos featuring academics such as Lord Nicholas Stern and Professor Eileen Munro, to the “Stories from LSE” – which tell of life at LSE through the stories of individuals here. Prospective students will also find videos describing the application process and student life at LSE.
Stuart Corbridge, Pro-Director for Research and External Relations, said, “LSE on iTunes U will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in global issues. The extensive range of podcasts of public lectures take the listener through subjects as diverse as climate change, why markets fail, happiness, micro-finance, new technology, the rise of Cities and even African music. The videos will assist new applicants as they decide whether to apply to the School and the 'Stories from LSE' will remind alumni of why they did so".
The content on iTunes U has been developed by Web Services within LSE with support from Database Services in IT Services.
