CourseCast
One of the technologies I will be using in this course is called CourseCast. This is a multi-media course support technology. An example of the output of CourseCast is here, which supports the first module of the course. I have tested it with both Firefox (1.5.0.3) and Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP2), and found that the graphics are rendered best on IE, so I recommend that one.

Viewing the output is pretty straight-forward. You click on the link, and it plays. One of the useful features of CourseCast is that you can navigate by clicking on the slide in the left column. If you pick one, you will find that you jump ahead to that point in my talk and the audio and video jumps ahead with you. I hope you find it useful!
