• be able to download, install, and utilize basic software applications obtained from Internet sources.
HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
This is a technology-based course. Students enrolled in this course are expected to complete assignments which require a higher level of technical capability than your average class. In order to effectively complete assignments, students should have access to a modern desktop or laptop computer with MS Office and should have regular access to a broadband internet connection.
EMERGENCY OR INTERRUPTION IN COMPUTER SERVICE
Prepare for unexpected problems and emergencies. Understand that problems and glitches do occur in electronic mediums, as they do in any learning environment. Have a back-up plan for completing course work, such as using the computers at a local library, in case your computer crashes or your service is interrupted.
In addition, students are encouraged to save backup copies of any assignments posted online. Legitimate system outages of LAMP/Sakai, should they occur, will be taken into consideration; should a system outage occur, revert to email or other means of communication with the instructor to ensure continued course progress.
