Downloading Your Course

You can watch your course on our website as streaming online video, or by downloading the course and running it from your hard drive. Streaming video lets you start watching the lessons right away. This option also means that you can use your course even when you're not on your own machine, just by logging in to the website. Downloading the full course lets you use the course whether you're online or not. And the downloaded course has the full video2brain interface, which includes a number of great features that we hope you'll enjoy, like the option to create custom bookmarks.

Downloading and Unzipping Your Course

While logged into the site, you can download the complete course to your desktop by going to the course page, scrolling down to Downloads, and downloading the zip file containing the course files.

Once you've downloaded the zip file, move it to where you'd like to keep your course files and unzip the file, extracting its files and maintaining the file and folder structure.

NOTE: Windows machines occasionally have trouble unzipping the course using Windows' built-in unzipping utility. If you're running Windows and you have any trouble running your unzipped course, we recommend using one of the many excellent standalone Windows unzipping utilities out there, such as 7-zip. And of course, if you have any trouble with this at all.

Starting the Downloaded Course

From inside your new course folder, if you have a Windows computer, you can start the course by double-clicking "Start.exe."

If you have a Mac computer, you can start the course by double-clicking "Start." (This file may also be called "Start.app," depending on your settings.)

Whether you're on Windows, Mac, or even Linux, if you have a Flash-enabled Internet browser, you can access the course by opening "Start.html" from inside your browser.

Downloading and Unzipping the Project Files

If your course comes with project files, you can access them by logging on to the site, going to the course page, and downloading the project files zip. (It will be right next to the video training zip.) Once you've downloaded the project files zip, move it to where you want to keep your project files and unzip the file, extracting its files and maintaining the file and folder structure.
