Which version should I watch?
If you are on campus or have a high speed connection, we recommend watching the high quality streaming version. If you experience delayed buffering (a spinning disc indicating the stream is trying to catch up) you can pause the video, let it stream a few minutes and then watch it uninterrupted. Or you can choose the low quality streaming video.
- Low quality streaming video: Recommended for low bandwith, older or mini computers.
- Text and image version: Recommended for dial up connections or screen readers.
