Stanford Teams Up With Piazza, Apple To Bring Social Features To Its iTunes U iOS Development Class

coding_together_piazzaWith over 700 million downloads, Apple's iTunes U has been a massive success, but unlike other new online learning services like Udacity or Codecademy, it's missing a social component where students can ask questions and learn from each other. Apple, Stanford University and the Palo Alto-based startup Piazza have now teamed up to bring Piazza's social learning platform for students, TAs and professors to the next session of Stanford's highly popular iOS development class on iTunes U. This is a first for iTunes U and Piazza and Stanford worked closely with Apple to get a link to the course's Piazza site embedded in iTunes U.
