Keuka Online

You will need either a cable modem or DSL. If you are using a dial-up connection, plan on going through online orientation at the library.

Except for the Library section in Step 4, you can simply read the text, but for a more enriching experience, you will want to sit back and listen.

Aside from a couple forms in this orientation, you will be using Adobe Reader to open every syllabus and other materials for your classes. Even if you already have a version of Reader installed on your computer, we recommend you reinstall by clicking on the link below.

Videos used in Orientation and in other Keuka courses are served from YouTube using Adobe Flash player. If you're having trouble playing and viewing YouTube videos, we suggest you install the latest version of the Flash player: this will allow you to easily play YouTube videos.

Here's how to upgrade to the most recent version of Adobe's Flash Player:

1. Before installing the most recent version of Adobe Flash player, you will need to first uninstall any older versions of the Flash player you've installed in the past and currently have running on your computer.

Please completely uninstall the version of Flash you're currently running, before upgrading to the most recent version. To uninstall Flash, follow Adobe's instructions, listed here. You'll need to download Adobe's official Uninstaller to remove Flash.

2. Once you've uninstalled the older version of Flash, you'll be ready to upgrade to the most recent version of Flash. To upgrade to the most recent version of the Flash player, please follow these steps:

a) Follow Adobe's instructions for reinstalling the most recent version of Flash.
b) Once you've downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash, please exit your browser.
c) Finally, click to install the update that you just downloaded to your computer from the Adobe Flash site.

Once you've done so, open your browser again and go to YouTube. You should now be able so successfully watch videos!

If the instructions above don't resolve the issue, please also try the following:

a) Disable popup blocking software installed on your computer to test. You're going to do this to use Moodle anyway, so once youve' done it, leave it off.
b) Allow YouTube.com as a trusted site in your Firewall software.
c) Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren't set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.
