The sample screen shot at left shows the layout of a typical module window. A tutorial or presentation module window displays a video pane with Windows Media Player in the upper left, video and audio playback controls in the middle left, and Scenes/Info/Help tabs and panes at the lower left. The Help tab explains the controls and shows non-mouse keyboard equivalent shortcut keys. Flash-based screen shots of the instructor's computer screen appear on the right side of the screen. Closed captioning, which you can turn on or off, appears below the right side computer screen pane.

Contents of these modules are integrated and synchronized multi-media presentations that appear in a new browser window. The integrated output includes Windows Media streaming content, Flash-based files, regular XML and HTML code, and MP3 format audio files that are used when low-bandwidth connections prevent the use of streaming video media. The content was produced using Apreso Classroom.

Flash Player is required for playback on any computer. Your Flash Player Global Security Settings Panel must be set to "Always Allow". Scripting, Frames, and JavaScript must also be enabled in your browser. See FAQ #21 and #22 in the previous links and your browser's Help System for detailed information about settings and options.

To view these modules with video, you must use Internet Explorer in conjunction with Windows Media Player. A broadband internet connection must be available and the High Bandwidth option selected. If these requirements are not possible on your computer, you can still view the module without the streaming video. The upper left video pane of the presenter will not be shown, but the audio track will play through any installed MP3 player on your computer that is configured for use as a browser plug-in.

Audio-only modules can be played back using popular Web browsers on any platform. These include properly configured Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Unix, or Solaris machines. They can even be played back over dial-up connections, ensuring access to these online presentations from wherever you are -- on campus, at home or at work.

Closed captions of the audio track may be viewed by clicking the "" button on the module presentation screen. Captions are available whether video is playing or not, and they follow the audio script.. They will display along the bottom of the computer screen pane on the right side of the frame. Mouse over the caption area to make the semi-transparent background more opaque.

On most computers, you can control all facets of playback. You can adjust the speed of the presentation, pause it, and jump forward or backward to any point within it. You can also make the various parts of it appear full screen. Click the Help tab in the lower left pane of the module presentation screen to see additional descriptions of playback controls.

Information about setup and use of the software discussed above is available directly from the associated companies.
