Dear @FreyaInnes and others, thanks for flagging this. We've switched over to Padlet so you can pin your country to the map.

Hi @AlenaAuyoung no, the site we pull this in from appears to have changed, hence the broken link. We will have to remove this link from the course and start another Course Run without, I'm afraid.
Sorry about this.

John Kerr replied to David Lloyd
Hi David,
Click on the Google+ link in the text of the step. It should take you to a video page and give you a count down until we go live. Come back just before we go live and click play, the stream should start. Same for the YouTube link.I hope this helps.

Great idea, Luc. Linguistic rainbow. Love it!
Would you like to set up an open group based on this course and perhaps we can advertise that a learner led Facebook group is up and running?

John Kerr replied to David Gamon
Hi David,
Thanks for the feedback. There are many reasons why we use two camera's and two shot's of the presenter. It's very common practice for a 'talking head' clip.I hope the focus and emphasis is with the content rather then the clip style.
Thanks
