iTunes U Data Management Policy

iTunes U follows the UBlearns Data Management Policy (podcasts will remain available to instructors on the iTunes U system for a maximum period of 12 months after the semester ends). It is not possible to create a copy of an iTunes U course. Therefore, content must be re-uploaded into a following semester's iTunes U course site to be able to tie into the new semester's student registration information. As with all computer files, you should always keep personal back-ups of all content that is placed on iTunes U.
