Technology Note: Because the Innovative Teaching Showcase is an annual web publication, each year's set of Showcase Videos 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. Through the years, the showcase movies have become larger and sharper due to the improvement of bandwidth. Most of the movies are now hosted on YouTube and embedded into our web pages. In order to watch the movies, make sure you have access to YouTube's system requirements:
- Macromedia Flash Player 7.0+ plug-in
- Windows 2000 or higher with latest updates installed
- Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
- Firefox 1.1+, Internet Explorer 5.0+, or Safari 1.0+
