About the OLLI Story movie. This movie
tells all about OLLI at Mason:
- See the
institute's two locations,
Fairfax and Reston;
- Visit
classrooms to sample typical
courses and special events;
- Hear brief
comments by the
president, vice president, program coordinator, development-committee
chair, and an original founding
member/former president; and
- Discover
why members are so
enthusiastic about the institute.
Watch
now. If you
were unable to watch the Flash version
above of the movie, you can watch it in other ways here (or read below
for more options). Note:
Microsoft Internet Explorer will start
to play the movie within a few seconds but Firefox will download the
entire movie before starting to play it, which may take a long time.
More
options -- Please read this
BEFORE clicking below on a movie link. If you can afford
to wait a
half
hour or so before watching the movie, click here to
see the movie in near-DVD quality and its
original, large picture size by saving the movie to your hard drive.
Otherwise, we offer a compressed version
with a
smaller picture size that you can watch
right now if
you have a broadband Internet connection
(unfortunately, a dial-up modem connection is far too slow for watching
this movie).
Note:
If you have a Windows PC, you already have Windows Media Player
(available free for Windows or Mac at the Microsoft site);
Windows Media Player will play the Windows Media
(*.wmv filename)
movies. If you have a Mac, you already
have QuickTime Player (available free for Windows or Mac at the Apple
site); QuickTime Player will play the QuickTime (*.mov
filename) movies. You may already have Real Player on your computer
(available free for Windows or Mac at the RealNetworks site);
Real
Player can play Real Player (*.ram filename) movies, Windows Media
(*.wmv filename) movies and QuickTime (*.mov filename) movies.
WATCH
MOVIE NOW
Any
of the following
'small' versions should start to play as
soon as your movie
player's buffer fills up, which usually takes just a few seconds. For
the best picture quality, we
recommend that you view the movie at 100-percent/'normal' size.
Problems?
If the movie does not start playing within a minute, try switching to a
different movie player (e.g., Real Player vs. Windows Media Player) if
available
on your computer. Or if an alternative Web browser is installed on your
computer, open this page in that browser and then click on a movie
link.
We apologize in advance if you find that whatever you try, the download
