Courses with Instructor's Narration

Course modules with audio narration by the instructor are packaged in ZIP format to reduce file size and download time. Each package includes one PowerPoint Slideshow file (the course module), several MP3 audio files (the narration), and a text-only transcription of the narration.

Files for course modules with narration are much larger than their counterparts without narration; participants are encouraged to download the version most suitable for their needs.

Instructions:

1. After downloading the course package from the module page, unzip the package (instructions below).
2. After unzipping the package, open the folder containing the PowerPoint and audio files. Double-click the PowerPoint Slideshow file to view the course. Do not move any files out of the folder, or the audio will not play correctly.
3. The narration will play automatically as you advance to each new slide. At the conclusion of the narration for each slide, you will hear a tone indicating you may advance to the next slide when you are ready to do so.
4. Click the speaker icon located in the bottom left corner of each slide to stop and restart the narration.
