Today's Free App of the Day is, in many ways, THE free app for the iPad and iPhone. I doubt that any app will be downloaded more than this one.
iTunes U has been No. 1 on the U.S. iPad free rankings for quite a while now (it is also available for the iPhone). Basically, universities are posting their lectures and course materials through iTunes U for their students and whoever else wants to learn about that particular subject. The app contains audio, video and educational documents for seemingly countless subjects; it's all free...and it's library is growing daily.
This is a must-have app.

iPad/iPhone (FREE): U.S. Canada U.K. Australia
The app isn't for younger kids but it does contain material for older children, college students, post-grad students, and, really, any adult interested in learning about just about any subject.
A quick look at a few of the top course and collections being downloaded (the app contains it's own featured, top charts, and categories sections just like iTunes): iPad and iPhone App Development, Autism and Related Disorders, Basics in Culinary, Masters of Photography, and the American Revolution.
From iTunes:

* Rather than just post a list with links we're going to find one free app each day, make sure it's worth downloading, and post the info.
Here are the rules:
1) The app has to have some substance as free. In other words, it can't be a few seconds of play and then require an in-app purchase.
2) My kids or I have to like it.
3) It can't have ads all over it.
Peculiar article, exactly what I wanted to find.
