Internet protection services such as firewalls, designed to protect corporate information and systems, may sometimes prevent students from successfully viewing streamed content. Corporate network administrators are often able to make minor adjustments in the firewall scheme that allow streaming to be done. However, some security policies do not permit the necessary modifications to the firewall. Students at these facilities may be directed to use a computer that is not connected to the Internet through their corporate network in order to participate in videostreamed courses.
A note about videostreamed
courses:
Rensselaer does not currently support its streams on operating
systems other than Windows, though Windows Media Player
is available for a wide variety of platforms.
