Some courses use specific plugins in order to enable course content to be displayed. A plugin is a small piece of software that is added to a program to expand its functionality. For instance, normally one would not be able to view video over the web using Mozilla Firefox, but a plugin would enable these types of media to be viewed through the web browser.
Plugins vary in size and some require several minutes to download. Please take the time to download them so that you can receive the fullest online learning experience possible.
