| This section explains how to use the manual from a technical perspective.

|
| |
| = Open Educational Resource and Creative Commons =
| |
|
| |
| The present materials are an Open Educational Resource or Open CourseWare if you like. This means that the materials are licensed under a Creative Commons license, allowing you to reuse the materials provided that you:
| |
| * Acknowledge RECOUP as the source of the materials
| |
| * Do not make commercial use
| |
| * Share any materials derived from the present under the same license.
| |
| (Further details can be found on [[RECOUP:Copyrights]].) In other words, we have chosen a license that make the material accessible for reuse from a legal perspective.
| |
|
| |
| = Reading and downloading =
| |
|
| |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
| = Making a local copy =
| |
|
| |
| '''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.
