I am trying to proceed on the course but all I see is an animated circle. What is the problem?

This is a problem that AOL users experience when using the web browser within the main AOL interface.
If you are using AOL, to avoid the problem simply minimise AOL (do not disconnect the internet connection) and use a web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) instead.

What is the best web browser to use for this course?

The Dental-Channel system is compatible with the major web browsers. For best results we recommend the most recent versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

My sound quality isn't very good. Is this a technical problem?

The on-demand webinars are recordings of the live webinars. As the audio is recorded over the internet the sound should be closer to telephone sound quality rather than CD sound quality.
We endeavour to ensure that all audio faults are removed and that the sound quality does not detract from the viewing experience.
