Take our Media Remote Control for a spin

Hello!

We’ve added a large “Remote control” to the presentation room in the Visitors Centre.

By clicking on the remote you will see a blue pop up menu appear in the top right corner of your screen – just use this menu to choose what you’d like to look at on the screen and then it will be shown/start to play.

Please note you must have Quicktime installed on your machine and have set media streaming to automatic for this to work correctly  - click here to watch a video that shows you how to do this.

Feel free to login and give it a whirl!

 

Alternative way of creating a Second Life Account added

Hello.

We have now added a method of creating Second Life accounts for staff and students from PCs within Newport University.

The official account creation page has a limit to the number of accounts that can br created per site and we have reached ours - forcing staff and students to create new accounts from home.

This new link to the NMC Campus account creation page lets staff and students create new Second Life accounts from within the University, and lets us support them with face to face training sessions in doing so.

You can access the updated page here:

I would like to thank Daniel Livingstone for making me aware of this soloution - thanks Dan!
