Simple guide to watching sign video clips

When opening a course unit with video clips in it, please wait a minute or two until all the video clips are loaded. This really depends on your internet connection.

  • Play – Although we have ‘Play’ button on all of our videos, you can actually click anywhere on the screen of the video to start play. Once the video is finished, you can play it again as often as you want to see the sign.
  • Audio – Most of our videos do not have audio except Kids Basic ISL courses as it is not needed for learning sign language. Therefore the ‘Audio’ button on the videos cannot be used.
  • Fullscreen – If you want to take a much closer look at one of the signs – you can either click on fullscreen button at the bottom-right of the clip screen or just double-click anywhere on the video screen.
    When you want to exit the fullscreen, you can press the ESC key on your keyboard, click on the same button to return to the page or double-click anywhere on the video screen.
  • Subtitles – Click on crossed-out ‘CC’ icon to enable the subtitles on, the subtitles are available on many conversation videos between two persons throughout the courses. The rest of videos (e.g. single signing clip) do not have subtitles.
    If you see crossed-out ‘CC’ icon appears next to audio icon then this video has the subtitles, click on it and then select ‘English‘ to turn on the subtitles.
    (Note: An example screenshot of video above does not have crossed-out ‘CC’ icon on it which means it does not have subtitles available).

Don’t forget to click Mark as Completed or Mark Complete to show that you have finished reading each unit/topic of the course.
