This Quick Start Guide for installing Online Academy modules is for system administrators installing Online Academy modules. See the readme.html file for more detailed information.

• Download desired module(s) and uncompress them in a directory on your web server. We recommend "academymodules" as a directory name. Each module is available in both .zip and .tar.gz formats, choose the one you prefer.



• Move the 'rmedia' directory (located at the root level of the module) to your RealServer content folder. This assumes a standard RealServer. If your RealServer installation is non-standard please refer to your RealServer documentation to resolve addressing issues. Important Note! Each module's 'rmedia' directory is uniquely named by appending an underscore and the module identifier to the 'rmedia' directory name. For example, if the module you are downloading is a101 or the Instructor's Module, you will find that the rmedia directory is named, 'rmedia_a101'. Each module's 'rmedia" directory has it's own unique identifier and these names must not be changed.



• Use a text editor (we use TextPad) to open the rmedia_server.js file (located at the root level of the module) and modify this file to reflect the address of your RealServer.



• Use a computer with a properly configured browser and Real Player to test the functioning of the module including the streamed presentations.



• Ensure that the modules you have installed are password protected according to the standards and policies of your institution. The Online Academy requests that all modules be password protected.
