Courses Plus Student 1,576 Pointshaving the demo vid and workspaces open at the same time
I tried asking for help on this once before, and no luck. I'll try once more. Could someone please explain to me, in detail, how to have the demo video and workspaces open on my screen at the same time - side by side, so I can copy the code into workspace? I'm using Windows 7 and Google Chrome. I've tried everything I can think of and it just doesn't work right. If I minimize the demo vid the text/code is so small that I can't read it. All sorts of other things that make no sense also happen as I try and try to make this shit work. Anyone?
Thank You, Les

But it helps to have two screens. I'm sure it's tough with just one, unless it's very large.
I think with just one screen, I would pause the video when I flip the window/tab over to the workspace. I'm not sure what course you're on, but generally the workspaces have what you need in them already. In the courses I've taken the need to copy anything from the teacher's notes was pretty rare. But the "pause and flip" technique should handle those cases.
