Ever think about dropping in on a Harvard University lecture on law, loss or metaphysics?

Now you can, for free, and from your couch.

Harvard University yesterday launched its own version of iTunes U, on a dedicated portion of iTunes.

The new portal allows students, faculty and curious Bostonians to attend the Ivy League school virtually.

Perry Hewitt, the university’s director of digital communications, said the online, accessible-from-anywhere database illustrates the school’s plans to provide “the highest-caliber digital experience to showcase our excellence in teaching and research.”
