Institutions using the Public Site Manager?

I'm just getting into the Public Site Manager, and would love to see what other institutions are doing with it. If you are using the Public Site Manager, please post a link to your iTunes U store in this discussion thread.

I am with Grand Valley State University.

Once an administrator adds an apple id as a contributor in the public site manager, what is the URL for Course Manager ?

Although is appears that a lot of users are currently having trouble signing in.

I cannot Publish my site after using the Publish Public Site Manager. An error, with no explanation is returned.

The problem we’re having has to do with transitioning our existing Easter I Tunes U site over to an iTunes U Public site as the instructions below tell us to do.
-          I can access the itunes U Public Site Manager fine with my ID.
-          I was able to make some changes to our existing site to get it ready for publishing it to the iTunes U public site format.
-          I can preview our existing site as a new Public Site fine from within the Public Site Manager application.
-          However, when I try to Publish it I get an error that says :   An error has occurred during the publishing of your content. Try again
Looking for some support to tell me what we’re not doing correctly to migrate our existing site over.

Here are the answers
Eastern CT State University is no longer in the iTunes U directory .    r
The have not migrated their site to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Starting June 2010 we notified all iTunes U site administrators for any site in the iTunes store that they would need to migrate their existing site to iTunes U Public Site Manager in the future. In Feb. 2011 we notified them that the deadline for migration would be April 2011 and that if they had not migrated their site would no longer appear on the list.
For Eastern CT State University to return to the list, they just need to transition over to an iTunes U Public Site Manager based site. Information on how to do so can be found here -http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter_14_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/iTUPSM-CH5-SW2

Nick Good ?uestion!
I am the New Admin for The University of New Orleans, and after reading the response to your initial question I think we fall into the category of needing to migrate to Public site manager. But looking at the tutorial which is mainly text, I cannot follow the instructions. Do you have a screen shot of what step two because I cannot find the " iTunes U Public Site Manager in the Tools area."
Thank you!

Beginning Public Site Manager

Where is the link to request the Public Site Manager? Is it supposed to be on the right side when you log in as an admin?
We are not yet listed in the iTunes U "Store" so I submitted a inclusion request last Wednesday (pre-approval status), which is supposed to make the link to Public Site Manager appear, correct?
Thanks.

Clicking the "Consider this Site for Inclusion..." button in the Edit Site Settings area of your site will notify us of your interest in creating a public site and using iTunes U Public Site Manager. We will enable migration for your site within 72 hours. We understand that you are looking to get access to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Your site will not be published to the iTunes Store. You will ultimately do this yourself in iTunes U Public Site Manager.

Cannot Log into Public Site Manager

Hi all,
I am the primary administrator to our iTunes U account. I can log in via the iTunes U store and see/change our iTunes U channel. However, I cannot log into our iTunes Public Site Manager. I am trying to set up our initial collections and would like to use the Public Sitel Manager.
I tried logging in through this portal.

New public site manager? and what happened to tabs?

I have received the iTunes U activation email and I am about to start building our iTunes U site. When I went on the iTunes U course a few months ago the layout was very different. I understand there is a new layout and that this has something to do with the 'Public site manager' - could someone explain?
My big concern is that I have multiple rss feeds for our public lecture series. We have over 1000 public lecture podcasts, videos, slides, transcripts etc. Since they're basically all the same 'course' I have multiple rss feeds for each media type e.g. audio, video, slide-audio, transcript(pdf) and slides(pdf). The rss feeds are split by year and there's another bunch of feeds for the latest 50 items. I was planning to create a course for each year and the latest 50 items and use the tabs to display the different media types. How can I do this using the new layout? It feels like I have fewer options in the new layout. The course titles are truncated on the homepage so how can I differentiate so many different feeds that are essentially the same 'course'. The only option I can see is to use the cover art to somehow display the year and media type for each feed else I'm just going to get a bunch of icons and titles that look identical.
Any help or advice would be much apprciated.
Tom

Please ignore these questions - I have now watched the public site manager video webcast and I'm now up to speed. http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/new.duke.edu.1302914143.0352 7899686.4285944238?i=2057081390
I have to say I am not happy, not happy at all. We've just spent six months building a media CMS and publishing system much of which was built with the 'old' iTunes U layout and information architecture in mind. We're now going to have to do some major revision work before we can launch.
Specific annoyances -
1. The tabbed layouts we’re great for bunching together different media types and while I understand the logic behind ditching the tabs the new layout doesn’t really work for me. The collection titles are truncated on the homepage, how are people going know what the collection is let alone distinguish between variants for video, audio and hd video?
2. pdf documents are now supposed to go in with the relevant podcast or video feed. It is virtually impossible for us to do this using our media CMS. We can publish pdf's as a separate rss feed for each collection and/or we can bunch everything together (audio, video, pdf etc) into a single rss feed but we can't put the pdf's into a the rss feed for audio, and video and hd video.
3. The ability to upload images for individual collections rather than pulling the image from the rss feed was a really useful option. With the truncated collection titles on the homepage and the lack of tabs, the collection images become even more important because they're the only place where you can display the media type or collection variant (year, term etc) on the homepage. Our media CMS will put an image in an rss feed but if we publish variants of that feed e.g. for a particular year, term or media type it will use the same image for all of them. So now instead of a unique image for each variant of a collection we're will have to use a stock image making it impossible for users to distinguish between variants of a collection.
3. Is possible for the speaker/author name appear in the individual podcast/video listing? All the listings I've seen that use the new layout omit this information. This assumes that every item in a collection is presented by the same lecturer/speaker . Our public lecture series has a different speaker for each event, some of these are very high profile people and users will be looking for the name of the speaker not necessarily the name of the event.
These things combined really limit our options, in fact I'm scratching my head wondering how we're going to get around some of these problems. Grrrrr. </rant ends>

Itunes u support for public site manager

I have been the iTunes U admin for my college for years - since iTunes U first started. I cannot log into the public site manager - it refuses to acknowledge my credentials, even though I can log into my institutions iTunesU site directly through iTunes. Others have reported the same problem with no solution. Who can I call to get this fixed?

Try these contacts:
email: [email protected]
phone (US): 800-800-2775
Hope one of those works for you. Regards.

ITunes U Public Site Manager Application

I did not put a high enough supervisor for the Public Site manager as we are a k-12 school and high managers would have had issues even knowing how to access a course, let alone be in charge, but I have been rejected. How do I apply again?

Duncan,
I appreciate your willingness to help. The site can be found here:
http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/education-maine.gov
I am the site administrator, and I want to add content to an existing collection. I have been adding content to existing collections since the site was created several years ago, but since the recent June 1 update to the Public Site Manager things have obviously changed and I cannot seem to find a way to add content. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
As a work around, I created a new apple ID and added it as a "user" and then as a "contributor" to the collection I want to add content to. I then logged out and then in again as this new contributor, and I was able to add the content as before (the update). I was hoping that I would be able to log in as the administrator and upload content without having to use another login.

ITunes U Public Site Manager and adding new content

Probably just me missing something, but I am in the iTunes U Public Site Manager looking to add content to an existing collection. Since the update, I can't seem to find the "add to collection" button that used to exist. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Public Site Manager Required to Publish?

Currently our site is stuck in the pre-approved status. My quess is that it's waiting on categories to be assigned, but will the site need to be converted to the Public Site Manager to be included in the iTunes store?

I thought it was taking forever for our site to be approved too. I logged into the private site and went to 'Edit Site Settings', which is where I originally submitted our site for inclusion in the iTunes Store, and there was a message waiting for me there. You may want to check there if it's been a month or two. Once I followed the steps provided I was able to access the Public Site Manager which is a whole other beast designed to manage the Public site separately. Once I completed the steps waiting for me, the message disappeared so I can't tell you exactly what it said (it's been a while too, sorry). Hopefully you have something waiting to prompt you into the next phase. Good luck!!

ITunes U Public Site Manager - Apple-Hosted Feed

Is anyone else having problem when trying to add a "Apple-Hosted Feed" under the collections section of the public site manager? Every time I try to add a feed the load icon just keeps spinning and doesn't add a collection. I have also gotten an error saying that I need to logout and try again. I have done that and it still doesn't work. I have tried on another computer also. Still not working. Not sure if this is my end or apple's. I had added a new collection a few days ago and it worked fine.
Any help would be great.

We are investigating the slowness, but we haven't been able to reproduce the situation where you cannot add "Apple-Hosted Feed". While we continue investigating, we wanted to let you try this again to see if you can get thru this time. Perhaps the issue had something to do with the condition particular to the time period. Can you give it a try and let us know?

ITunes U Public Site Manager - Migrating site

When the Public Site Manager was first introduced I followed the instructions on how to migrate the content over. I was going to work on it and then other projects came up here. Since I have migrated the informtion over I have posted new content on the "old" itunes u site and don't have the slightest clue on what the last piece of content that i have was the last one posted to the PSM. Is there a way to re-migrate the content over to the new PSM or upload the new content on my "old" itunes u site over the the PSM from the last migration date? It is going to be very time consuming to go through my whole site to figure out what is and what is not on the PSM side of iTunes U. I hope someone can help me out with this.
thanks
Chris

Greetings Chris;
When you log in to the old iTunes U environment, all of the collections will have a "Date Modified" tag. Also, in each individual collection you can sort the contents by "Date Released". You can compare the release date with the date that you migrated to the new Site Manager environment to see what content was added after the move. Hope this helps. All the best with your site...

I'm not quite sure what specific information you're looking for, but perhaps the information these pages will help:

Can I register iTunes U Public Site Manager using US Virtual Office Address?

Can I register iTunes U Public Site Manager using US Virtual Office Address?
I am from Indonesia and really wants using iTunes U to distribute our course and materials to our student who using ipad/iphone.
We are an Education Organization that provides a free education material to k-12 in Indonesia.

Sorry but no. Your institution must be actually in one of the countries where iTunes U is available. You would need to enter into a service agreement with Apple and they would almost certainly reject your application once they learned that your institution is actually in Indonesia.

ITunes U Public Site Manager - institution type for UK?

I am in the process of enrolling a UK secondary school for an iTunes U Public Site Manager account. The enrollment is fairly simple until the last option - 'Institution Category', which has two options; Higher Education and K-12 School district. We are neither of these. Obviously I do not want the enrollment rejected.
Any advice would be most gratefully received.

Hello,
Our college just went through the migration so i am speaking from this experience which, hopefully, might help you.
1. Make sure your Apple User ID is the same as in your iTunes U Admin site primary admin's ID.
2. You need to enter your school's primary admin sign in URL in Safari. The URL for your institution should be something like this: https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/SignIn/cwu.edu
3. A new window will come up on top of iTunes requiring you to sign in using your Apple User ID and password. Enter them and click Sign In.
4. Now you should see on the upper right hand of the screen in your iTunes admin site, a new button you never saw before. I do not remember the exact name but it is something like Migrating to Public Site Manager. And it is in red color. When you click that button, it will walk you through the process step by step.
Hope this helps.
