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 Flash, Windows Media Player, Quicktime, or the Real
Player browser plugins. More information is available on the How
to Use This Showcase page.
