Remote Site Tech Fixes

The most common questions I’m getting are regarding how to handle the Adobe/Macromedia Flash and Connect Pro software and general Microsoft glitches without shipping our laptops back to LMU and how to optimize Mediasite settings for low bandwidth or choppy networks. The attached documents are my attempt to assist with both.  They do not necessarily reflect the opinion or advice of LMU-DCOM staff or other students.  Please use at your own risk.
