Playing WAV files in Firefox and Opera??

I have been struggling all day with the coding for this and still cannot get it to work. It works a dream in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox it asks for a Quicktime plug in - then when you've downloaded the plug in, it STILL asks for it!

I just want a simple, visible controller to play an embedded WAV file in any browser.

Any suggestions?

Dr Curt Bonk

We have been fortunate this week to have three presentations from Curt Bonk http://php.indiana.edu/~cjbonk/, on 1. Podcasts, Wikis & Blogs: E-Learning (it's not in Kansas anymore - it's in Edinburgh), 2. OOOPs - Open Courseware and 3. Blended Learning. The start of our autumn semester is looming and there's lots to do, but you only get occasional chances to hear inspirational speakers, so let's not waste them!

My latest course (module) at USQ is going well, I'm taking Multimedia with Dr Peter Evans and having a lot of fun with the course Wiki, knowledgeGarden. Trouble is, am spending way too much time in the knowledgeGarden virtual world and not enough time buckling down to reading journal articles and learning to use Fireworks, DreamWeaver and Flash! Must work harder! Great support from fellow course members though, and getting closer to that graduation date next September......

Stephen Downes: Keynote on Skypecast

I've just participated this morning in the Skypecast of Stephen's keynote address to a conference in South Africa. This was (he thinks) the first ever keynote delivered in this way. There was a combination of a live audience, people listening in from all over the world on Skypecast and texting on Skype chat. It was very exciting to take part. The topic was: 'Learning Objects' what are they good for? and Stephen discussed many ideas on education, learning, technologies and where we may all be going in the future. He'll be creating a podcast of the address and posting it on his website.
