This past fall, Sacred Heart University further embraced Apple computing technology, launching iTunes U for its students and faculty, and offering Macintosh laptops—as an alternative to PCs—to incoming freshmen. Beginning September 1, using iTunes U allowed anyone in the SHU community access to audio and video of lectures, interviews, athletic events, professors’ podcasts, course support materials and other multimedia offerings. “Part of what we do in the IT group is continuously look at ways in which we can infuse new technology throughout our community,” said Robert Tullonge, director of Academic Computing at SHU. “What’s more, this particular technology didn’t require us to make major changes to our infrastructure, because the student population and much of the community is already well-versed in how to use iTunes. So offering content within iTunes U was really a winner for us.” Access to SHU’s iTunes U network is free and works on a subscription basis; once new content is available, users connected to the service are immediately notified. In conjunction with the launch, Sacred Heart began offering Mac laptops to incoming freshmen as an alternative to PCs. To shore up that support in preparation for the new program, all of the University’s full-time technicians were trained and certified in Mac repair, to go along Junior Lacey Gilleran of with their previous certifications to service the campus’ PC offering, Lenovo ThinkPads.
