You will need access to:
To access our virtual learning environment, any computer capable of browsing the internet will suffice. Any internet browser will work although we recommend Firefox. Generally, any computer sold in the past 5 years should be sufficient. Broadband connection is ideal but even a dial-up will allow you to access online readings, submit assignments and participate in forum conversations. You will need a broadband connection to take advantage of our multimedia content (videos, audio). However, you can access those from an alternate location. Broadband is also ideal for participating in webinars, although even that may be possible over dial up. You will also need access to an office application suite such as OpenOffice or Microsoft Office. For access to readings, multimedia and webinars, you may be asked to install Adobe Acrobat, Flash and Java Engine, however, these are typically preinstalled on any computer or can be installed for free on demand, when needed.
