Most people associate iTunes with music or video purchases/downloads, or for the Apple enlightened, Application purchases/downloads.

What is probably missed by many - particularly people who don't have any Apple kit, is that there are loads of free resources for learning stuff and you don't need any Apple kit to use it.

If you check out the iTunes university, there are video downloads available from several major universities worldwide, on many subjects - including art and design - all for free.

Whether or not you have Apple kit, you can watch these videos on your PC or Mac at no cost.

So, get out there and learn something new!
