Sally, I don't think that's the same one. This is a lecture series
(possibly a course) on podcast, from Stanford University, and is available
from iTunes University on your iPad, iPhone, or Mac. I'm not sure about
other computers. I discovered iTunes U about a year ago after passing it by
for some time without remarking it, and it's been a lifesaver during long
hours in my studio when I don't feel like listening to music. I also have
turned some of my homeschooling friends with high school aged kids on to
it, and they report being amazed by it.
