Course Access

Access

All live distance courses (courses being offered in the current term) are delivered via the Internet for downloading and streaming. Most library courses (courses recorded from a previous term) are delivered via the Internet also; however, some are delivered via CDs only. Refer to the library course list for each course's available format.

In order to have access, you will need your IdentiKey (CU username and password). If you are a continuing student, you should already have your IdentiKey. If you are a new student, you will obtain your IdentiKey after you register. If you don't recall what your IdentiKey is, then go to the CU Identity Manager to reset it. If any issues are encountered, please contact help@colorado.edu.

Access Instructions

• Click on the "course login" link at the top right hand corner of this page or any page on the CAETE web site.
• When you get to the login page, enter your CU username and password.
• Once logged in, you will see a list of lecture recordings for the course(s) you are registered. Under "Lecture Title," click the class you want to view to start instant playback of the lecture online.
• Lectures can also be downloaded for off-line viewing in a variety of formats. Click one of the options under the "Download" column. 

Who Has Access?

·    Students Registered for a Distance Course
Students who are registered for a distance course through CAETE will automatically have access to view their course lectures via the Internet (streaming/downloading). CD-ROMs can be made available by special request. Refer to the Course Delivery page for more details.

·    Individuals Not Registered for a Distance Course

If you are a main campus student, instructors for the various courses have the discretion whether or not main campus students enrolled in the course may have access to course lectures online. CAETE will not provide access without the consent of the instructor. Contact the instructor for access permission.

Individuals who are not registered for a distance course, but would like to gain access to the whole course or specific lectures may do so for a fee. To view rates, refer to the rate chart page. To request access, complete the Course Access / Media Request form.

·    Students previously registered for a distance course who are completing an IF/I

If you are completing an IF/I for a distance course from a previous semester and need access to the recorded lectures, send an e-mail to caete@colorado.edu. Provide the following information: your full name, course number, course title, semester you took the course, and reason for access (completing an IF/I). 

When Are Lectures Available?

Lectures of live courses are recorded and made available via the Internet for streaming and downloading within 24 hours after the in-class lecture concludes.

Access to library courses will be available the week the semester begins. Please note that only the lectures for the first 2/3 of the course are posted. The last 1/3 will be ready to view by mid-semester.

Access to the course lectures is only available until the end of the semester for which you are registered. Access is reset at the beginning of each semester according to your registration status. If you are receiving an incomplete for your course, please be sure to download the course lectures before the end of the semester in order to avoid possible fees.

Sample Lectures

Sample lectures are now available for most courses. When you click on the course description from any of the semester schedules or the comprehensive course list, the available lectures will be listed toward the bottom of the page.
