Open access media available

John Sinton has been working away to get the course tutorials available across the various channels the OU uses.

So as well as on a playlist on OULearn's YouTube



We're also on iTunesU - http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/digital-film-school-for-ipod/id467054715

Next stop, I'd quite like to talk to Vimeo.

...and we're live
