How to Download Additional Tasks and Materials From iTunes U in iBooks App for iPhone and iPad

iTunes U allows us to download and subscribe to our favorite courses. Some of the courses have topics and materials loaded on the servers they publish, so we will be directed to Safari every time you want to see one, without being able to open them directly in iTunes U. If you want to solve your homework from home or you want to download additional materials that are not open in iTunes U, then follow this tutorial to see how to do this with iBooks.
