Streaming Audio - 
If you do not have time to listen to the whole teaching, make a note of how many minutes you have listened and when you return simply return the slide to that position. Click on the file name under the "Real Audio" icon. If the response is very slow or not happening at all, try clicking the hot spot more than once.  Very large "Real Audio" files may not stream if you have a connection that is congested with traffic.   If your audio is frequently interrupted or times out, try coming back at another time. Please let us know if you have problems.  We would be happy to help in any way.
