Everything in these presentations has been kept as simple as possible, to allow you to focus on the message.
You need RealPlayer® to listen to these presentations —- in addition, of course, to speakers or headphones. If your computer is presently connected to the Internet, you may download this program at no cost from the RealNetworks Web site, by clicking on the icon below.
Each presentation is contained in a page of its own. The page contains a "Multimedia Presentation" link that will launch the audio/video presentation in a window containing the RealPlayer® module. Most pages also contain a link to "Overheads" that will open another window allowing you to browse through the overheads that were used by the speaker in the actual presentation. By cycling from one page to the next, you can follow the presentation almost as though you had attended it. These, combined with the captions added by Federated Press, and appearing in the media box, will provide you with the best possible multimedia experience.
The multimedia presentation consists of a substantial amount of data. Loading time will vary considerably, depending upon your system's specifications. A delay of some 15 seconds before everything starts is not unusual.
The RealPlayer® window contains important information, as can be seen from the example below.
On one side of the player is a list of the headings of the various segments of the presentation. These segments are video or audio portions of some 5 to 8 minutes. The heading for the portion presently being played appears highlighted: if you let the presentation play, the headings will be highlighted in succession.
Each of the numbered segment titles is a link. Thus, clicking on one heading will allow you to skip to the segment in which that topic is discussed. This operation may also require a few seconds to be processed by your computer.
The other side of the player window is a list of the sub-headings discussed in each segment; a new list is displayed whenever the presentation moves into a new segment.
