Technology Note: Because the Innovative
Teaching Showcase is an annual web publication, each year's set of Multimedia Showcase pages was designed to provide the best playback
experience for the user, given available streaming video technologies
at WWU in the year it was developed. For this reason, the various
showcase pages may require your web browser to have Windows Media
Player, Quicktime, or the Real Player browser
plugins. The player that is required is indicated below each video
clip. More information is available on the How
to Use This Showcase page.
