1: The Background and History of ACT

In this lesson you will get some background, the reason why ACT developed the way it did, and that will help to contextualise the roots of of this work.

ESSENTIAL: Click on this link to watch the video. This will take you to a platform called Media Hopper. The video can be made full screen, by clicking on the two diagonlal arros in the menu bar below the video. In addition, if you hover over the video with your mouse, two horizontal arros will appear on the right of the screen. By clicking on the two horizontal arrows you can switch between seeing the presenter or the slides as the larger of the two windows. You can also pick up the 'within picture' part of the video and move it around so that you can put the smaller picture window where you want it, for example if it is obscuring some text on a slide.

You can also choose to have the presenter and slide view equal in size or one smaller than the other, by clicking on the small TV picture icon just below the two horizontal arrows. Again this only appears when you hover over the video with your mouse.
