• A 28.8 kbps or higher connection to the Internet is required. Of course, you get better quality video and smoother playback with higher connection. At 28.8 or lower, you can only get the audio stream along with the web page slides.
• The realplayer from  Progressive Networks is also  required; you need to install the realplayer first before you can view the lectures.
• You are using a javascript-enabled browser, like netscape 4.x or internet explorer 4.x.

To start, click on one of the realplayer buttons near the top of your browser. The realplayer window will pop up on your screen, and the appropriate web page will be loaded automatically when necessary during the lecture. Note that if you find that the slide is taking too long time to download just hit the pause button on the realplayer. When the slide has loaded hit pause again.  You can also use the slider bar on the realplayer to advance through the presentation to a particular topic, and the web page appropriate for the audio/video will be loaded.

To aid users with slow connection, all the slides will be downloaded from the web server at once. So it's a good idea to load the web page, then wait for the page to finish downloding, before playing the video/audio.

Click on the Duke logo to go back to the beginning of the lecture. Click on the pictures on the left side of your browser to see the slides not displayed on the screen.

The slide will be displayed with a pink border if your browser window is too narrow to display the slide at its true size. Click within the pink border to see the slide at its true size.

Click on the "Print All" link near the bottom of the left-lower frame to list all the slides in a new window suitable for printing.
