Do I need to install any special software or plug-ins?
Some courses offer videos, animations, and other multimedia to help you learn. To use this multimedia material, you may need to download and install additional software (for example, QuickTime). You can open your course to see what kind of additional software it requires, if any. Note that some software may not work in all browsers.
Depending on your course, you may be prompted to install:
The player window that you use to answer questions online, such as the MathXL Player, the MyEconLab Player, and so on.
Adobe® Flash - Needed to run the player window in most courses and to view some tutorial videos.
Adobe® Reader® - Needed to view online CourseCompass guides and other PDF documents.
Adobe Shockwave® - Needed to view animations in some courses.
Apple® QuickTime® - Needed to view the tutorial videos and animations that accompany your course, or hear audio files in any of 30 audio, video, and image formats, including Flash.
Java plug-in - Needed to view the Virtual Classroom and Chat sessions in CourseCompass.
RealNetworks® RealPlayer - Needed to watch streamed media animations in some courses.
TestGen Player plug-in - Needed to view and take online TestGen tests in CourseCompass.
