General Course Operating Instructions
This course is designed to be run as Web-based training. You can run the course through Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
For optimal use of a screen reader, it is recommended that the IE browser be used to access the course.
To help protect your security, your browser may restrict a file from showing active content. Should you receive a message stating this, select the area, and choose "Allow Blocked content...." Then choose 'Yes,' to run active content.
This course is written for the minimum system requirements, Internet Explorer 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 1.5.
General Operating Instructions
1. If opening the course from a CD, place the CD into the CD-ROM drive. If you have a Macromedia Flash® 8 plugin installed, the course may be run by accessing the 'index.html,' or 'index' file through one of the specified browsers.
3. Parts of the course are formatted in HTML. If you use assistive technology, such as a screen reader, D-links provide descriptions of the graphics on that frame. Textual descriptions of the Captivate movies are within the movies.
Version eight and later of the Adobe Macromedia Flash Player plug-ins require a Global Security Setting. This setting is made to your system through an Internet connection, so that the Flash content of the course may be played through the CD-ROM drive. If the Global Security Settings are not made, the Web-based Training will not play when launched.
Select this link to view detailed information about the Flash Security Settings from Adobe/Macromedia or visit the Adobe Flash site for more information.
A large portion of the course is keyboard accessible.
