System Requirements
Mobile Devices
While you can access your course through mobile devices, there is a possibility that you may find that some interactive resources may not work to their full ability.
Internet Speed
Use a broadband connection through USB wireless modem, ADSL, T1/T2, fibre optic or cable. Your connection should be 256 Kbit/second or faster to ensure that you can view videos and online presentations.
Firewalls
With all firewalls, ensure that you enable uploading of files. If you plan to study from a public place such as an office or the library, please investigate firewalls that may restrict your experience.
WebEx
For our induction webinars and online classrooms we use a system called WebEx. The software/plugin is free to use and simple to set up. The system requirements for WebEx and the chrome extension can be found below. Please read the requirements for WebEx and confirm that your system meets their requirements as well as ours.
