Access from outside the EQ network requires Learning Place membership.
3. View item summary and download (2142 K) - Type: Windows Media Player file

Shows how to add a resource from the CX into a Blackboard course or virtual classroom.

An alternate strategy to avoid bandwidth impact is to use the address of a local copy of the learning object to make a hyperlink in a standard Blackboard item...see videos 3 to 5.
