To browse these courses on our server:
http://pleiad.qou.edu please send us an email on avicenna@qou.edu

Some parts in these courses employ the SMIL Technology and you may need to have a realplayer (version 10 or later) on your machine if you like to view some video clips. I recommend browsing the Multimedia II course as it has different variations in the way the author produced his material.

Our server is currently utilizing the bandwidth of EUMED Connect after the successful operation of this line that connects Palestine to UK. Al Quds Open University has been chosen to be the focus point for the project in Palestine.
