LiveText™ iTunes U can be viewed from an iPhone or newer iPod Touches. However, the iPad is the

premium device for taking a course on iTunes U. In this section, we will explore the

different functions and some tips and tricks making it even easier and more functional for

student use. The iPad is based on the premise, no matter the version—Pro, Air, or Mini—

that basic functions are located in the same place.

Accessing LiveText Since LiveText is web-based, assignments may be submitted from the iPad or from a

traditional computer. You must be connected to the Internet to access LiveText.
