How This Works Everything in these presentations has been kept as simple as possible, to allow you to focus on the message. Required Configuration: RealPlayer® You will need RealPlayer® to listen to these presentations -- in addition, of course, to speakers or headphones. This program can be downloaded at no cost from the RealNetworks Web site, by clicking on the icon below. Listening to the presentation Each presentation is contained in a page of its own. Immediately below the presenter's biographical notes is a window containing an embedded viewing area for the RealPlayer interface. The rest of the page consists of the series of overheads used by the presenter. As soon as you reach the page that contains the presentation of your choice, your computer will begin loading the RealPlayer software. This process may take up to 30 seconds, depending on factors such as your computer's performance, the speed of your connection to the Internet, etc. If, for some reason, your machine cannot accommodate the embedded RealPlayer, you may use the link provided for that purpose. This will launch RealPlayer in a separate window: you will then have to come back to your Web browser to view the overheads. Selecting a portion of the presentation The RealPlayer area of the page contains important information, as can be seen from the example below. On one side of the player is a list of the headings of the various segments of the presentation. These segments are audio portions of some 5 to 8 minutes. The heading for the portion presently being played appears highlighted: if you let the presentation play, the headings will be highlighted in succession. Each of the segment titles is a link. Thus, clicking on one heading will allow you to skip to the segment in which that topic is discussed. This operation may also require a bit of time to be processed by your computer -- usually less than 15 seconds. The other side of the player window is a list of the sub-headings discussed in each segment; a new list is displayed whenever the presentation moves into a new segment.
