Several of our classmates have reported that some features of the website are not able to be viewed with an Ipad. Obviously this is because of Apple's disdain for flash player. Is there any way around this?

Yes, use a PC. Other than that, I don't think so,

It's not just the IPad..it's other tablets too. I have a Toshiba Thrive..and I can only see the homepage. I can't click on the links on the homepage. Putting it simply I can't use my tablet to navigate my website.

I, myself, luv my Desktop puter. I have a Netbook and a tablet that I use more than my desktop. I just got a HP Pavilion G Series lappy...It's technically a Netbook...cause it's only 15". I luv it.

Hey Brad....you gotta get your AT dept to start working on this problem. More brownies in your future??? Not really a problem, I guess...it's the wave of the future..not everyone has a PC and most aren't going to buy one. It's cheaper for them to buy a smartphone instead of a PC. Smartphones, lappys and tablets are taking over the puter market now. Lots of people use their smartphones and tablets now to communicate, post on FB, etc etc.
CC has to get up to snuff very soon. :::::keeping fingers crossed:::::::

OH...BTW..I was notified by Kim Komando..that Google is not going to support and use the Flash player on Android operating systems..so that means you won't be able to play any type of games that use Flash. I will try to find the emails and post it here. This disappoints me since I luv to play games on my pc & tablets Crying or Very sadCrying or Very sadSadSad

Not really a great answer and the other replies clearly indicate why. I believe Adobe even has a converter program/routine to move from Flash to HTML5, the "wave" of the future.

I DON'T own an iPhone or iPad, but I was told at coffee this morning that you can see the Flash files if you download Windows for IOS.
Someone game to try this and see if it works?

I think this is a great suggestion but I just read online, after doing a search for "windows for ios software download", few minutes ago, that it may require a "jailbreak" for some tablets and other IOS systems products. Right now my IPad works great and lets me see everything on the net and related to Class Creator, except some videos. So I'm going to hold off on doing it but if someone else wants to try it and report back to us, let us know your experiences, please.

An option for your mobile devices is a browser called Puffin. It comes in two versions, a free one and a more robust one available for purchase from the App Store for $2.99. The difference between the two is the free version will only work a couple of times before the trial expires. Once you download Puffin, you use it like any other browser. Simply open it, enter the address of your webpage, and click on your flash video and presentations to view. I've even placed some text just below my flash presentations that says "Mobile device users click here" and it's hyperlinked to a page with the wording above. The $2.99 has been well worth the investment.
