It’s update after update today, isn’t it. Alongside iWork for iOS, OS X Mountain Lion, and other various applications getting updated today, iTunes U has also been updated to support new features. iTunes U gives users access to a large amount of free college courses and other resources. Part of the update is a new note-taking option, that allows you to take notes while watching/listening to a lecture. From the App Store:

iTunes U 1.2 now makes it easy to take notes while watching or listening to a lecture. This update also adds the ability to search within posts, assignments, notes, and materials — from any of your subscribed courses — using the improved Search feature in iTunes U. It is also now simple to share your favorite courses with friends using Twitter, Mail, and Messages.

iTunes U has a plethora of college classes from all fields of study, from some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Yale, Stanford, MIT, and Oxford. Apple just announced yesterday in it’s conference call that 750 new courses were just added. If you want to check it out, head on over to this App Store link and give it a try. It’s free.
