| The following question has me stumped. Anybody have a good guess?
You are going to set up lectures over the internet for high school students to use over a very slow connection. What would be the best format?
A._ Real media
B. QTVR (Quick Time Virtual)
C. Shockwave
D. Web TV
-- seems like, with a very slow connection, lectures over the internet in any of these formats would be a bad idea. B & D are obviously wrong but i'm stuck between A and C. Streaming media would technically work but Shockwave would take up less bandwidth and the study guide I have mentions its good for "tutorials." I'm leaning toward C. | |

| I would say real media would be the best answer because of the streaming format. With a slow connection you still only have to wait for about 10 percent of the file to download to start playing it. | |

| B and D = out: obvious, they need huge bandwith.
shockwave is actually not too bad, but i'd go with real media | |
