Okay. The other Nemiroff collection I watched seemed to be in order on the list. [fx]shrugs[/fx]

I can't get any of the videos to play, unless I open the mp4 in another browser. It takes about 5 minutes for the video to load and start playing in the other browser. Is there a way to download the videos to podcast on my phone so I can watch while traveling?

Do you have the latest version of Flash installed properly? The embedded viewer (which is required if you want to stream the video, rather than simply downloading it) is Flash-based.

Most of the videos are downloadable as MP4s, which should allow you to transfer them to your phone for later viewing.

Thank you RJN:

As an amateur astronomer who is active in his local astronomy club, this online course is just what I needed. I really regret not studying astronomy when I was a college student many years ago. I would really welcome the opportunity to take your quizzes and exams just to see if I'm understanding the material being offered. However, If you can't do that because you may need the questions for current courses you are teaching, I understand. Also, the idea of using the Wikipedia entries in lieu of a text book is a stunning concept in education. By relying on the open editing framework of Wikipedia, the information will always be up to date and vetted by experts in the field which should filter out erroneous information. In some ways, I find this a revolutionary and economic approach, no such thing existed when I was a poor college trying to buy textbooks which may be out of date when you need them. Again, thanks for the course....I'm looking forward to completing it.

Clear Skies.

I must confess here that this forum is loaded with information and though this is my first time, i am going to be referring a lot of my colleagues here, it's a place where you can get a lot of help with the subject of astronomy, our passion!!!

I have seen the question posed but no answer.

Is there a list of quiz questions somewhere to help me assess what I have learned?

Many thanks for this detailed course.
