eARFA Video Learning Resources
We have two options for using video learning resources to learn how to use the eARFA program.
Videos to download
The first set of videos is from a 1/2 hour program recorded for the Extension New Personnel Orientation session in September. You must save the file to you local hard drive before viewing the video. Downloading the video and playing it on your computer will provide the best quality video to show the specific features of eARFA. Also, the on-screen font size was enlarged for easier reading of the screen text; therefore, the layout on some screens (ex: Main Menu) will not match the default display within eARFA.
When you click on the link for the program or a segment of the program, a dialog box will open. Save the ZIP file to your desktop, then double-click on the file name. In the dialog box, double-click on the file name to play the video (WMV format). File will open in Windows Media Player.
