RPG Build 5.0 Training

Instructions:

Download document build5deploy.pdf (3.68 MB)
You are encouraged to download and print additional copies of this document. This is a PDF file. You must have Adobe's Acrobat Reader installed in order to read this document.

Download presentation rpgbuild5play.exe (27.45 MB)
This VISITview presentation must be downloaded, saved and expanded. It is then ready for playback.

There are two options for playback:

1. The "visitplay.bat" file initiates a playback mode where each slide is selected by the student.
2. The "visitauto.bat" file initiates a playback mode that is continuous.

In continuous playback mode, this session will take about 40 minutes. When viewed by a group with discussion between slides, this session will likely take longer. Group sessions using visitplay.bat with the presentation projected onto a big screen often enhance learning. Also, some of the graphics will look better projected onto a big screen instead of a computer monitor. We encourage everyone to participate, whether individually or in groups.
