BBC
NI Learning endeavours to provide you with quick and accessible web
based resources. You will find that nearly all our content is available
in a plain text (HTML) format, which is highly accessible across
a range of internet platforms.
To complement these resources, we strive to provide rich, multimedia
enhanced content to give you, the user, a more complete and interactive
experience while using our websites.
To view, use, or download multimedia content, additional plug-ins
or software above your internet browser are often required. Although
the majority of these plug-ins are included as standard with your
internet browser, occasionally you may need to download a new plug-in,
or an upgrade, to access some of our resources.
All plug-ins that you may require are FREE to download. Using the
list below, you can check whether or not your computer has each individual
plug-in. If you do not have a plug-in, click on the icon of the plug-in
you require and then follow BBCi WebWise's simple guide to downloading
it.
