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