Accessing MAIS LINC Training Simulations
On This Page:
Windows Users Need RapidPlayer to Run Simulations
To use the training simulations in MAIS LINC, Windows users need the RapidPlayer browser plug-in software on their desktop. This plug-in is available for computers running Windows 2000 and XP, which are the two Windows operating systems that MAIS supports.
If your unit allows you to install software on your computer, download the RapidPlayer plug-in and follow the accompanying installation instructions. The plug-in installation takes only a minute or two.
Notes:
-- RapidPlayer is part of the standard software for many units, so it may already be on your computer.
-- If you use Internet Explorer 6.0, you need RapidPlayer 3.
--
If you use Interent Explorer 7.0, you need RapidPlayer 4.
Run the Sample Simulation: To ensure that the RapidPlayer plug-in is working correctly
on your Windows computer, try this sample simulation
after the plug-in is installed.
Macintosh Users Need Citrix to Run Simulations
Macintosh users must access MAIS LINC through Citrix.
Choose Wolverine Access Gateway from the Citrix Start menu and then choose My LINC (HRD and MAIS Learning & Information Center)
from the Wolverine Access University Business page. Macintosh users do not need to install the RapidPlayer plug-in to use the
M-Pathways training simulations.
If your unit allows you to install software on your computer, download the
Citrix ICA Client software and follow the accompanying installation instructions.
Verifying Unit Policies Regarding Software Installation
Many units, including LSA, Business and Finance, and the Hospital and Health Centers, do not want individuals to download software to their workstations from the Web. If your unit has this policy and you use M-Pathways on a Windows computer, contact your system administrator to arrange for installation of the RapidPlayer plug-in.
If you have questions about your unit's policies regarding downloading software from the Web, contact your Unit Liaison.
