Software+Downloads

The following software is useful for viewing the video lectures in our distance learning courses:

[|Firefox] - A popular internet browser that is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer, which is the default browser on most computers running Windows.

[|Chrome] - A popular internet browser that is significantly faster and also more secure than Internet Explorer.

[|Safari] - The default internet browser on Macintosh computers, also available for computers running Windows.

[|VLC] - Most of our courses have video downloads available as Quicktime MP4 file. VLC is an excellent video player for students who do not want to install Quicktime.

[|iTunes] - Most of our courses have video downloads available as Podcast files that transfer to your iTunes. You will need to install iTunes in order to play these and transfer them to a mobile device such as an iPad or iPhone.

[|Quicktime] - In order to play our Podcast files you may need to install Quicktime software as well.

[|Windows Media Player Plugin] - Some of our older videos are only available as online streaming in Windows Media format. To play these you will need to install this plugin.

[|Flash Player Plugin] -Most of our videos do not require a plugin to view videos, but occasionally an older video does require Flash. You will need to install the Flash Player Plugin to view these. Note that this plugin is NOT installed by default on Macintosh computers, so installing it is essential in order to view the videos via online streaming.
