Mini-FAQ
Can I download these videos and show my peers?Yes, as long as the intent is to share for educational purposes.
Will the tutorial videos eventually have audio?It has always been the goal to add audio, but we are not certain when.
Help, the text in the tutorial videos are too fast!Sorry as sometimes, what’s being shown on the screen moves too fast and so the captions follow suit. Three solutions include the following: downloading the ‘Video Speed Controller’ extension for the Chrome browser; playing the video on the Firefox browser and right clicking the video to decrease video speed; downloading the video and using a third party video player (e.g., VLC) to decrease video speed.
