These screencasts will play on any modern computer and web browser, but you will need the Flash Player in order to view the content. Most people have this installed, but in case you don't see the videos, this is the most common issue.
For those of you interested in online training for the Macintosh computer, unfortunately we don't have screencasts specificaly for Macintosh at this site. However, much of the information provided is relevant to both platforms, so feel free to paruse the collection regardless of your platform.
We make these videos using a software called Macromedia Captivate. It records the screen while we narrate into a microphone.
