To view lecture videos for your course, you can view streaming video or download a ZIP file to your computer. For connections with higher bandwidth, you can watch the lectures online via streaming video without downloading them. Alternatively, you can download the ZIP file of the lecture to your computer’s hard disk, extract the file, and view the lecture without worrying about the Internet connection.
Certain lectures require you to have RealPlayer, while other require Windows Media Player. See the Computer Requirements page for more information.
