An update to VPS was pushed out this morning which includes the following changes:
- Authority code-signing certificate migration. This will allow 1.3.1 to install seamlessly over the old versions, if installed. For first time users, it will provide a less dangerous-looking installation routine (see below)
- A fix to the internal application updater to resolve an updater UI conflict which would sometimes occur.
- Replication of the VPS distribution URL that pre-CourseMedia™ installations will be looking for in order to perform in-place updates. This will enables current VPS users to not have to re-download the .AIR file for installation and instead allow in-place updates to function.
The recent release of DU CourseMedia™ includes an update to the VPS Projection System.
VPS is an extension of DU CourseMedia™ that can be installed on a user’s desktop or laptop computer in order to project gallery objects through either single or multiple projection setups.
So, what’s new?
- Only have one external projection screen? No problem- now you can split that screen into two and compare objects with ease. This is perfect for classrooms with only one projector. The software will prompt you to use this feature upon login if your hardware is in compliance.
- Simulated laser pointer support: Moving your mouse cursor onto a display object will render it as a virtual laser pointer. Just move off of the object to return to normal.
- There are also data enhancements regarding login for users of the standalone version of CourseMedia™. This does not affect DU users.
In order to get this update, you can download it manually from CourseMedia™ at http://coursemedia.du.edu/, or simply adjust the “Config” parameters to point to CourseMedia™ as illustrated below.
