Example

If students cannot see the voice recorder it could be that Java is not installed. You should instruct students to download and install the free Java software from www.java.com. You might also want to check with your local computer lab technician to ensure that Java is installed on the lab computers. When students browse to a page with a Voice recorder, they may see a security message about the application's digital signature. You should instruct students to Run the Java application. |
