Video caching... what really happens???
September 25, 2006 12:00 AM
Okay, Lectora experts...I have a dandy here. I am in the process of creating a course which is extremely laden with video. I have narrowed each video down to two sizes, a small and a medium.I am actually linking to play butons for each video from Play SMALL and Play Medium buttons embedded on each page. I did this because I felt that the lower bandwidth users (dialup?) would benefit from not having to watch the heavier laden videos and could therefore choose to watch the smaller size ones.However, this little birdie tells me that maybe I am wrong. I have a lot of time invested in this project, and did not want to create two separate courses where each used the Small VIDEO and Medium VIDEO's conversly. So the question is this, "Does Lectora, when it loads the page, cache the video which CAN be called from each page while it resides on the LMS (Currently we are with Learn.com) or does the VIDEO only get cached and played WHEN a user clicks to call it (that is when they click the Small VIDEO or Medium VIDEO buttons)?Any logical answer is greatly appreciated. I am very willing to provide any additional information if requested.Thanks for a great forum!Bradley FredrickInstructional Designerbfredrick@cmsstl.com
