SPC iTunes U
Instructions for Instructional Technologists
1. Go to www.spcollege.edu/iTunesU, enter your SPC Username and Password and click the "Login" button.
2. If you have not already installed iTunes, the "Download iTunes" Web page will appear. Refer to the "How to Install iTunes" instructions before proceeding.
3. If you have already installed iTunes, an "OK" window will appear, which you can close as soon as iTunes has opened.
4. Once in SPC iTunes, you should see three sections, organized to allow a different level of access:
| Pages here are accessible to everyone, even those who login as an "SPC iTunes U Guest." |  |
| Pages here are accessible to all SPC employees. |  |
| Pages here are accessible based upon enrollment in a specific ANGEL course. Credentials must be entered for each page. |  |
5. To add a new page for a course, click "Edit Page."
6. For the "Courses" section, click "Create Page" and click "From Template 'Standard Course'."
7. A new area will appear for you to enter the Title, Short Name, and Identifier.
8. Copy/Paste the course title, as it appears in ANGEL, into all three fields.
9. Click the check icon.
10. A new page will appear.
11. Click the pencil icon if you need to edit the Title, Short Name, or Identifier.
12. From this editing area, is also where you can delete a page by clicking on the "no" icon.
13. You will be warned that deleting a page is irreversible.
14. Click the title of the course to edit access.
15. Click "Edit Access " from the "Links" menu.
16. The Custom Permissions will be displayed.
17. Click the pencil icon next to the first (instructor) credential.
18. For the credential Inst@spcollege.edu:lastname.firstname, replace lastname.firstname, with the instructor's username. For example: Inst@spcollege.edu:thiel.janice
OR
If there are multiple instructors in one ANGEL course, it might be simpler to use the ANGEL course ID, rather than individual username. Use the following credential, which will allow edit access to any instructors assigned as such to that particular course in ANGEL: Inst@EME2040_2727_0385
19. Click the check icon.
20. Click the pencil icon next to the second (student) credential.
21. For the credential Stu@Course_Number_Term, replace Course_Number_Term, with the ANGEL course ID. For example:Stu@EME2040_2727_0385
22. Click the check icon.
The previous two credential strings allow access based upon enrollment in an ANGEL course. This grants edit and upload access to a specific instructor (or for anyone assigned as an instructor of the course if indicated that way), and grants download access to anyone indicated as a student of the course.
Refer to the "Permissions" section below for a summary of the possible credential strings you may add, based upon the access needs of the course/page.
23. Click the "Done " button.
24. Keep a record of all courses and corresponding instructors you have added to SPC iTunes U. Get in contact with each of your instructors at the start of each semester to obtain and update the course number and semester code in the instructor and student credential strings for each course page.
25. Instruct your faculty to keep copies of all podcasts they upload to iTunes U as a back-up.
26. Students can access SPC iTunes U by logging on at www.spcollege.edu/iTunesU
OR
Instructors can add the following link to their ANGEL course(s):
http://www.spcollege.edu/iTunesU/iTunesU.php?uname=$USER_ID$
This link, when used in ANGEL, allows students to bypass the SPC iTunes U login screen. Instructors, however, will still be prompted to enter their username and password at the SPC iTunes U login screen.
