Manhattan GMAT Online Course Questions

by sellit697 » Sat Jun 02, 2007 11:04 am
I am very seriously considering the Manhattan GMAT online courses, but had some questions/concerns. I travel to Mexico on business quite frequently (I will be there from 13th - 29th this month), and the internet at the hotel is problematic at times. It is a highspeed connection, but I don't know how well it would support streaming of content.

Are all lectures, especially recorded ones, streamed over the internet? Or can it be downloaded and played locally on a person's computer?

If not, what is the minimum speed needed to view either the live or recorded lectures?

Thanks!

Okay, my question was answered in the MGMAT forums.

You cannot download the lectures; you need to be connected for the length of the time you are watching the live *or* recorded lecture.

For some this may be an issue. When I attended USC remotely we could download lectures, which were secured by DRM so people couldn't distribute them. I found this to be very helpful because I could watch lectures on a plane, or somewhere that didn't have an internet connection.

Just a suggestion to MGMAT to look in to this idea.

Thanks - and sorry I couldn't answer the question for you; I've been out of the country.
