The content has been designed for both more experienced and less experienced workshop leaders. We strongly suggest that your presentation team include members of the community you are trying to reach.

If you are having trouble viewing the videos:
The quality of the streaming video depends on the speed of your Internet connection and on traffic. The picture may be fuzzy at slow speeds. Also, high network traffic can cause connection, download and playback problems. When the player encounters high traffic, it degrades quality in an attempt to maintain continuous playback. The simplest solution is to try connecting at another time. You can also check your connection speed, or reconfigure your RealOne Player to receive content differently.
