		How are lectures set-up? Because the majority of our users are working professionals, most do not have the time to sit through an entire lecture. Therefore, Stanford Online videos are indexed by keywords or topics; allowing users to jump to specific points within a given lecture. To navigate through the videos, right-click on the video screen and choose file markers. A pull down menu of the index points will appear. Selecting any of these links will jump the video to that portion of the lecture- allowing for a non-linear viewing experience. In addition to indexing, a PowerPoint slide presentation is synchronized with the video. The slide presentation provides the students with a larger version of the visuals seen in the video. As the professor flips his slides or writes on the chalkboard or notepad, these enlarged images appear to the right of the video in the flipper frame. Although synchronized, the slides are also independent, enabling the user to navigate through the slides for reviewing without affecting the video.

		Are logins required to access the videos? Yes. Logins are required to access the majority of Stanford Online content, however, there are several seminars and demos that can be accessed without a login. In addition, during the first couple of weeks of each academic quarter, all courses remain open to allow students to shop around. If you are registered in a course and your login is not working, contact SCPD Technical Support via email at scpd-online-support@lists.stanford.edu. If you need a login, please see our password page. Remember that, if you are a full time student accessing Stanford Online from an on campus compter, you can access all the content on the "Academic Courses" page without a login.

		Who can receive logins? Students who have registered specifically for Stanford Online offerings, SCPD students who have specifically registered for Stanford Online, and registered on-campus Stanford students can receive logins for the courses in which they are enrolled. Stanford Professors can also request logins. Please visit our password page for more information.

		When will the lecture video become available online? Lecture videos from our Academic courses (see list) generally require 2-3 hours of post-lecture production and are posted shortly thereafter.

		How long will the course videos be stored on the server? Academic courses (see list) remain accessible through the duration of the academic quarter.

		How do I navigate through the lectures? You can skip around in a lecture by either clicking the dragging the progress bar under the video or at any point along the progress bar. You can also use the index points created by us to navigate to certain topics of a lecture. After the lecture has loaded, right-click on the video window and select "File Markers...". A pop-up window will display a window with a pull-down menu containing all the topic markers. Make a selection from the list and click "OK".

		Can I make the video larger? The video can be viewed full screen either by double clicking on the video screen or right clicking on the video window and selecting "Zoom" --> "Full Screen".
