Computing Requirements

Required Hardware

To access e-learning courses, a multimedia-class computer (PC or Mac) with Internet connectivity is required. Minimum system requirements are described below.

PC:

  • 800 MHz Pentium 3, (1 GHz, or better, recommended)
  • 64 MB RAM, or better
  • 1 GB free hard disk space
  • 56K modem, or better

Macintosh:

  • 400 MHz G3 (500 MHz, or better, recommended)
  • 64 MB RAM, or better
  • 1 GB free hard disk space
  • 56K modem, or better

Required Software

Students should also have the appropriate Internet browser. Optimal views of online courses or supplementary materials are rendered in MS Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher and Netscape Navigator 6 or higher. Mac OS X users may find that Apple Safari renders online content, interactions, and web applications more effectively than other browsers. Browsers may need to be further optimized if courses utilizing multimedia require any browser plug-ins or ancillary players.
