Video/Audio Clips

Someone mentioned having some difficulty view the video clips. She is using Internet Explorer and we suspect that it is due to a weak Internet connection at home. Please vote on the poll question to the right. I would like to know if anyone else is having difficulty. If you indicate that you are having difficulty in the poll, please follow-up by sending me an e-mail describing the problem.

If you are having difficulty and you think it is due to a weak Internet connection, please try an alternate computer and/or Internet connection. You might even consider watching the video clips in the campus computer labs. Remember to bring headphones as the students sitting around you might not appreciate the real estate lecture as much as you do!

We ran this class last Spring semester with 30 student and did not have any problems with the video/audio clips. However, we do have 70 students using the website this semester and this could cause some new challenges.

REMINDER ->Bullet point 6 from the course homepage:
VIDEO CLIP VIEWING INFORMATION: You must have a reliable computer, Internet connection, and a recent version of MS Internet Explorer (IE) browser (video clips can be viewed in IE only). For video clip viewing, the Firefox browser will not work. I cannot help you with any technical problems so please look into your available resources before registering for the course. If you have trouble with your computer, Internet connection, or browser, this distance learning format will not be convenient to you. You can reach the University HelpDesk at (817) 272-2208 or e-mail helpdesk@uta.edu. Or, visit the HelpDesk in person at the first floor of the Main Library (the best way if you are on campus).
