Some students have reported issues with watching the class preparation videos. Below are hints that have helped with these issues. Please let me know if you continue to have problems or if you have found other solutions.
Vimeo Videos
The Vimeo videos require you to use the password “NCStats” (note capitalization and don’t use the quotes). These videos may also have PowerPoint or other icons following the video link (see below), which lead to materials (slides, handouts, etc.) used in the video. Here is an example Vimeo video link:
Randomization in R [3 mins] 
YouTube Videos
These solutions depend on the type of browser you use and are categorized below. Here is an example YouTube video link:
Types of Conclusions [3 mins; start at 26:37]
Internet Explorer / Edge
It appears that the videos open without issue, although I have experienced some delay in the videos starting.
Firefox
The videos may appear to not exist, but will appear if you put the cursor in the web address bar and press Enter.
Chrome
The videos may NOT play with the way that I have linked to them. I believe that you have two choices here.
-
Configure Chrome to better handle Flash files. I did this by selecting the “three dots” (right side of address bar), then “Settings”, then “Advanced” (scroll to bottom of screen), then “Content Settings”, and then “Flash”. In the ensuing dialog box, make sure “Allow sites to run Flash” is on and that “Ask first” is off. I also added “derekogle.com” and “www.youtube.com” to the “Allow” list. You can then close that tab. When you then try to watch a video from the class webpage it will say that it will first say that it can not find the video. However, the video will play if you press “Reload”.
-
When the page appears that says the video cannot be found, change the “v/” portion of the URL in the address bar to “watch?v=” and change the “?” in front of “rel=0” to “&”. Thus, an address like “https://www.youtube.com/v/yxXsPc0bphQ?rel=0” would be changed to “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxXsPc0bphQ&rel=0”.
Opera
I could NOT get the videos to open properly with Opera.
Safari (for Windows)
The videos may appear to not exist, but will appear if you put the cursor in the web address bar and press Enter.
