How to assure current version of slides appear?

Jun 23, 2011

I am working on a course with multiple modules accessed via a separate player functioning as a 'menu'.  The 'menu' player uses a custom skin to with hard-coded paths to launch each module.  

We changed the font on several slides on one module and, during testing, noticed that the font had not changed on one of the slides.  (Sure thought it had been changed.)  I checked the PPT and it showed the new font.  Then I cleared the browser cache and the same slide showed the new font.

I need to show the revised version to several people and would prefer they see the current version of all slides.  It just makes life easier if I don't have to explain why they are having problems and prevents the seed of doubt that the project will not work correctly for their users.  Plus… I don't really want to provide instructions for clearing the browser cache for multiple platforms and browsers.

I am sure there is an easy solution and I am just missing it.

Question:  What is the best procedure to provide version updates of a player to assure the current content plays and not cached slides from a previous version?

Thanks,
