 ON-LINE LECTURES IN MICROBIOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY

Welcome to our audio/video site. Here you will find more than eighty lectures on medical microbiology and immunology given to second year medical students at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.

2007

The 2007 course started in August. This year there are lectures as an audio-video slideshow. There are also downloadable mp3 audio files. Lectures will be added within a day or two or their taking place

To access these files, please go here

Please note: Animated PowerPoint slides in the Adobe Flash presentations constantly repeat their animations. Until we can solve this problem, we have added a "Pause Slide" button so that the viewer can stop the animation. On the video list, click on the right pointing arrow for the section that you want. The page will flick upwards. Click on the right pointing arrow against the various sections again and a video list for that section should appear.

2006

All of the lectures are available as streaming video in two formats:

• Streaming audio/video in Microsoft Media Player (wmv) format. The PowerPoint image is small and when extended to full screen is of poor resolution. However, the files are easily accessed via a slow internet connection. It is recommended that you zoom to 200% by right clicking on the video.
   

• A multimedia presentation that incorporates better PowerPoint images with synchronized audio
   

We also have three downloadable formats:

• A  wmv file that is similar to the streaming video
   

• An mp3 audio file
   

• An mpg4 file that is suitable for an iPod player

2004-2005

In 2004  we used the integrated audio/video/PowerPoint in the Microsoft Producer format. These are high bandwidth but offer the best video. They have been successfully downloaded as far away as Australia but a high speed connection is essential.

If you do not have a recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or PowerPoint 2002, you will need to go to the Microsoft site to get a recent browser and/or the plug-in for PowerPoint. Explorer will prompt you to get the PowerPoint plug-in if you do not have it on your computer. It is available free.

To launch the lecture, click on the lecture title. Producer-PowerPoint should launch unless you do not have the PowerPoint plug-in. You will see loading, please wait at the top left. When enough of the file as streamed, this will be replaced with play. You may then start the presentation. Streaming will continue for some time after the file starts to play.

In 2005, we used Windows Media Player (wmv) streaming video.

The entire course is available in these formats

Please note:

Macintosh users

Mac users should use Safari rather than IE.   The media files may not play when a file is opened using IE explorer on a Mac. The problem lies within internet explorer for Mac - not Media Player.
