Schedule (ever evolving)

Using MS PowerPoint to view the slides will give you the best experience. If you don't have MS PowerPoint, Open Office works too, except that in some versions of Open Office, the digital ink doesn't display correctly. You can also use Acrobat Reader to view the slides in pdf format. The pdf files display the ink properly, but they are some artifacts here and there, mostly related to animations.
