It is a fantastic resource.
Open Learn, a free collection of Open University course units and a collaborative learning space, offers a basic introduction to fiction writing skills.
The great thing is, once you have signed up and enrolled on some courses you can get the content via RSS in your reader.

From the Apple start page:
Need to write a research paper for a summer course? Then you’ll want to pay a visit to the Florida Community College at Jacksonville and sign up for English Composition II. The 24-unit video course provides a comprehensive resource for writing academic essays. And you can also learn about technical writing, writing for business, and literary analysis, as well. It’s another fine course available on iTunes U.
This course loads in iTunes when you click the link. It is a complete set of lectures in video podcast format, so it is very large. I haven’t had time to review it yet as it has only just started downloading but the lecture list looks comprehensive and in-depth.
Don’t click on this unless you have lots of space on your hard-drive and a fast Broadband connection.

I quote from the site:
The eScholarship Editions collection includes almost 2000 books from academic presses on a range of topics, including art, science, history, music, religion, and fiction.
Access to the entire collection of electronic books is open to all University of California faculty, staff, and students, while over 500 of the titles are available to the public. Print versions of many of the electronic books can be purchased directly from the publishers.
Nice.

iTunes now has a university site where you can get podcasts of lectures in video and audio formats.
I will be reporting on any of the courses I do and enjoy.
