This section explains how to use the manual from a technical perspective.
The present manual is an Open Educational Resource / Open CourseWare. This means that the materials are licensed under a Creative Commons license, allowing you to reuse the materials provided that you:
* Acknowledge
* Do not make commercial use
* Share the resulting materials under the same license.
In other words, we have chosen a license that make the material accessible for reuse from a legal perspective.
However, we have also taken great care to make sure that the materials can be used easily from a technical perspective. For reading, the materials are presented in a number of different ways.
'''For reading online''', you have these options:
* On the RECOUP website itself, the manual is presented in html format, cf. http://www.ict4e.net/mirror_recoup/site/index.php . We hope that you find this a clutter free, easy to read version.
* Internet connectivity and bandwidth is a serious issue for many academic institutions in less resourced countries, and if you find that that the html version is too slow to use, you can use this versions instead: http://www.ict4e.net/mirror_recoup/index.php . It has very small pages (conforming to low bandwidth accessibility guidelines), and you can turn images off.
* For full interactivity, you can also read the text on the wiki, http://new-www.mediaplayer.group.cam.ac.uk/wiki/index.php .
You can also '''download''' the manual:
* You can download the manual as a single pdf file, cf. here.
* While browsing the wiki, you can download individual pages as pdf, using the inbuilt pdf generation.
* When browsing the wiki, you can of course also download the wiki text, using the edit links for pages or various sections.
* You can order printed copies from a print-on-demand service.
'''Keeping local copies.''' If you wish to make the manual available to your students locally, for instance while running a course using these materials at your institution, but you are suffering from poor internet connectivity and low bandwidth, we can offer you an easy-to-install mirroring solution, that provides mirroring for your local area network. Please see [[this link]] for further information.
We welcome your feedback on the usability of the manual. Please contact us with any feedback you may have on technical or other aspects.
