Technology Requirements

The following are minimum specifications for your computer. We require that you have a home computer unless your school is permitting you to take the course during your normal school day (yet even under that scenario, we strongly recommend that you have a home computer or access to another computer since you may not be able to complete all of your required activities during your normal class computer access time).

• Pentium II (233MHz minimum, higher recommended)
• Windows 98, NT, or higher (XP Recommended)
• 256 MB RAM
• 12x CD-ROM (CD/DVD Recommended)
• 56Kbps Modem (Broadband or DSL Recommended)
• Display setting 800×600 resolution (1024×768 recommended)
• Internet Explorer (web browsing software); version 5.5 or higher (IE 6.0 strongly recommended).

• Windows Media Player 9.0 (or higher) or RealPlayer

  We do not recommend using AOL or other dial-up ISPs web browser. If you do have AOL, once logged in, open up Internet Explorer in order to log into your course and do your coursework.

  Some courses may require specific software packages (such as MS PowerPoint, Windows Media Player 9.0 or higher, etc.).
