What features am I missing out on when I browse the site with my mobile device?

2010-06-06T14:45:20.994-04:00

When viewing the site on an iPhone or iPad you will not have access to the interactive content that supports the video component of each lesson. These include quizzes, practice sessions, online glossary, chapter navigation, related lessons or the email link.

Android devices do support Flash and therefore are capable of accessing the interactive content. However, due to screen size limitations of the phone platforms, these features may be difficult to use.

The video quality is very low on my iPhone.

Performance of the videos on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is highly dependent on the strength of the internet connection. The stronger the connection the better the videos will perform.
