Technological
requirements/suggestions
To view the media that comprise
the bulk of this site, your students will require a relatively
modern computer with a decent connection to the internet (minimum
28.8 kbps) and web browsing software installed. The video segments
all require additional software plugins that are freely available
on the internet. A faster connection to the internet, faster computers,
and more memory (RAM) will all make the experience more interesting
for your students.
Because of the multimedia
nature of this site, it may be difficult for an entire class to
view the streaming video simultaneously. To avoid this problem,
you might download all the video segments before class, or ask
your students to view a lower-quality downloaded version that
will download more quickly.
