Spring semester has brought a challenge with flash-based files and videos, many of these items are not loading properly for students.

We are aware that the majority of these file were supplied by publishers. We suggest checking the instructor resources for your book to see if they have included any new resources that you can use. We’ve seen a lot of publishers create platforms with updated interactive content. Your book rep is a great resource if you need assistance locating these materials.
