FAQ 5 - Watching A Recording

Lately, many students are getting caught up on late work.  A few of you are trying to get out of it by using the excuse "The Recording Doesn't Work".  I want to assure you that I have watched every recording and that they do work.

Here  are some things to check if you did not get it to play:

When you watched the recording did you push the "Play" button after it loaded?  A few students forget to do that.

Here is the entire process with screen shots.

Where to find the Class Recordings on the OMS

Select the date of the class you skipped.

Click "OK" to open the recording with our online classroom.

Select "RUN"

The classroom will load and look like this.  You must push play for anything to happen.

This is tiny, at the bottom of the page.  I circled it in the screen shot above.

Then class will open and you will see the welcome screen.

A few things to note:

1. It will open Blackboard Connect. so it will look exactly like our classroom.
2. The file "negativeplayback.collab" will download.  If nothing else happens on your screen, go to the "downloads" folder and click on it.
3. It will ask you to click "RUN".
4. You will have to wait for the file to load.
5. There is a tiny play button at the bottom of the screen that you must push.
6. Then class will load.

I do know this file works because I have many students watch it and they have had success -- even yesterday.

I believe in you and you can do it!
