To access MP3 Download programs:

  • We deliver our full-day and half-day programs as .zip files. After downloading and "Extracting" the contents of the .zip file, a folder will be created containing the individual MP3 audio files for each segment of the program. MP3 files can be played on a computer with iTunes, Windows Media Player, and many other audio players. To play/open/downloaded a .zip to your iPad, iPhone, and other mobile devices, you will need a "File Management" app that can open .zip files (there are many to choose from).
  • 1-hour programs are delivered as a direct MP3 download. Individual files will begin playing upon clicking the link. If you would rather save the file, simply right-click on the MP3 download link and choose "save link as" or "save target as".
  • Course materials are delivered in PDF format. You will need a recent version of Adobe Reader. Free Download here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
  • A connection to the Internet of at least 1.5 mbps is highly recommended. Download times are determined by your connection speed. Check your speed now.
  • A sound card and speakers
  • A media player capable of playing an MP3 audio file like Windows Media Player of Quicktime player.

Can I use my iPad/iPhone/Android?

Yes! Our webinar/video on-demand player is iOS/Android friendly. You won't need any extra apps to watch our videos. We deliver our full-day and half-day MP3 courses as .zip files. Once you download the .zip files, the individual MP3 files can be moved to your mobile device. iOS users can use iTunes to transfer .mp3 files from a desktop computer to their mobile device. If you want to download directly to your mobile device, it is worth noting that the Safari browser that comes by default with iOS devices does not support downloads. We recommend that mobile users use a Download Manager application like "Files - File Manager & Web Browser" for downloading media files to your device. The Files app behaves exactly like a web browser, but it will create a "Download" option for any links to downloadable content, including MP3 audio files, MP4 video files and PDF documents. 

 

Dropbox is another useful way to transfer media files back and forth between your desktop computer and your portable device.

Using Safari with iOS Devices
- The contextual menu (point and hold) in Safari only offers the following options: Open, Open in New Tab, Add to Reading List, Copy
- Safari does not support most kinds of downloads - you can only view content within it
- This means you won't be able to save .zip (.mp3 audio) files or video (.mp4) without a "Download Manager" application on your iPhone or iPad


Using Download Manager Apps
- Download manager apps work just like web browsers, but they also allow you to manage any downloads you encounter on the web
- Login at cle.cobar.org and go to your CLE Dashboard. When you get to a link for a downloadable resource, notice how the download manager offers a "Download" option in the contextual menu. The addition of this "Download Linked File As..." option makes managing media files on your mobile device much more intuitive and straightforward.

What is the difference between Live Webinars and Video On-Demand home studies?

Live Webinars are live broadcasts of Seminars taking place in the CLE Classroom that you can view online using a high-speed internet connection. Live Webinars are accredited as Live Events. Since Webinars are live, you have the opportunity to submit questions and get responses in real-time with the presenter.

Video On-Demand home studies are archived recordings of Seminars that you can watch or download at your leisure.
