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.
