Aw, isn’t that nice. A posh new institute named after little ol’ me.
Er, there seems to be some mishtake (as Bill Deedes used to say). It’s named after some other guy just because he gave TCD five million Euros. Pshaw!

iTunesOU
Hooray! The OU is on iTunesU — one of the first three major European universities to join the project. (The others coming on board today are University College, London and Trinity College, Dublin). At last we have a proper global distribution channel for our stuff.
BBC Report here.
Tony Hirst tells the story behind this (in itself an interesting case study of how old-style media relations teams have difficulties engaging with viral-blog-type media).
Stuart Brown puts the iTunesU project in a wider context.
Martin also blogged it.
One of the interesting things about the OU offering is that we offer downloadable texts (in pdf format) as well as audio and video.
