Playing your lectures

Remember: You must Install Quicktime before you can play lectures.

After you have installed QuickTime and chosen a lecture and a bandwidth, a window opens and a copyright notice appears. You acknowledge this by pressing 'Continue'. The playback controls then become visible in the top left of the 'Lecture Caster' window:

Playing the sound and visual recordings

As soon as you acknowledge the copyright notice, the recording begins to play. The sound and visuals are played together (unlike the PowerPoint slides which you will choose separately).

A number of controls for sound and visual recordings are available in the top left panel:

You can adjust the sound level, pause, play, fast forward or rewind:

	Adjust the sound level
	Pause
	Play
	Rewind
	Fast forward

You can also move to different parts of the lecture by clicking or dragging on the slider. This is useful if there is a long period of silence on the recording, eg where the face-to-face class had a coffee break. Just drag the slider to skip the blank section.

Above the slider is a 'timer' that shows you how far the sound recording has reached. This time changes as the lecture is played or you move the slider:

You know that your lecture is playing if the timer is changing. If the timer is changing but you can't hear or see your lectures, click here.

If the volume is too low, click here.
