Combined with iBooks Author for Mac and a revamped iTunes U interface, Apple has officially established itself as a conductor for the digital education experience. The WYSIWIG interface of the application means that even technologically green teachers will be able to develop customized coursework companions for their curricula. From soup to nuts, users are able to take part in developing educational tools for any level and also do it relatively cheaply. All of the apps iTunes debuted today are free from the iTunes or Mac App Store, and are available for immediate use.
The revamp of iTunes U also brings a new wave of promise to an old idea. Users can now participate in open courses from some of the country's best universities, without ever having to leave their homes. Dynamic and interactive, iTunes U's new facelift could possibly attract more universities to the platform and, in turn, produce more overall educational content through Apple's mediums.
Take a closer look at the highlights from the event, including in-depth anaylsis from the Mashable team.
