My hunch is that this is bigger. Perhaps something like using various Apple tools (iTunes/iPod, Macintosh, MacTV and some new things) to create the platform to deliver accredited content for the completion of degrees. That would enable member institutions to reach further into unserved or under-served areas and compete for students where they live and work. Distance learning with a more aggressive edge, if you will, all coordinated and delivered by Apple for a piece of the tuition fees paid. I think they will start with business education since executive MBA programs fetch tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars per year per student, which could be very lucrative if they can make the delivery method appealing.
