Below are links to various Instructional Video web pages that you may find useful.  Use your webpage search function to find the topic that you are looking for.

  • To listen to the videos in the lab you will need headphones (unless you have a portable appliance that is capable of connecting to the internet).  The folks that run the computers in the lab have disabled the audio ports on the front of the computers so you'll have to use the ports in the back (a green port is typical for audio output).  To minimize cable length, route your headphone cables through the space between the tables. Some computers have an extension cable from the back near the monitors. 
  • The audio portion of some of the videos may lag toward the end of the video.
