This page contains links to audio/video presentations covering a variety of topics related to COP 2000 taught by Professor Randy Gibson. They are stored as Windows Media Audio/Video (.wmv) files. This data format "streams" its data, meaning that computers can start playing the presentation before they have been entirely downloaded from their source. The presentations can be viewed by a variety of "player" applications or browser applets that typically are already installed on most computers.
The links below should automatically run an
appropriate player application on your computer and start the video after a brief delay.
If the presentation does not start soon after you see its player program load on your screen,
look for a button labeled "Play" (or simply
) and click on it.
The tutorial videos listed below are in the most logical sequence for someone who has never viewed any of them before. They can be viewed independently, but were produced in the sequence shown. Experienced users of Windows could ignore the GENERAL TUTORIALS ABOUT WINDOWS table below. If you are unfamiliar with the concepts of "file association" and "hidden extensions", then you should view at least the tutorial entitled "Data-Oriented Access" at the end of that table.
