New Video Player on OCWWe're rolling out a new video player. Based on the open-source JW Player, the new player allows us to combine our video resources into a smaller, more usable space.

Users can click on tabs below each video to see information about the video, other videos in the playlist, download and share options, and, in many cases, a transcript of the video.

We've retrofitted 13 courses with videos so far and expect to complete this change across the site in the first quarter of next year.
