Minimum requirements (virtual learning)
Before you decide to take an online module, it is a good idea to look over these minimum requirements to determine if you have or can acquire what you will need before you start the module. Here are a few ways to tell if you have what you need to take an online module:
- Do you have access to a laptop or desktop computer, and an internet connection?
- Smartphones and other mobile devices are not recommended for our online, remote-delivered modules.
- Have you ever participated in a virtual meeting using a microphone and camera?
- E.g. Webex, Zoom, Teams, Skype, Google Meet, FaceTime, etc.
- Do you have a reliable internet connection that is fast enough for participating in a virtual meeting?
- Are you comfortable doing all of the following?
- Creating, editing and saving Word documents or other types of files
- Playing YouTube videos on your computer
- Downloading and listening to music on your computer
- Searching for information on the web
- Sending emails
We ask that all participants use headsets or earbuds with microphones to maintain student privacy and ensure sound quality. We also recommend a wired ethernet connection as connecting directly improves the reliability of the connection.
Prior to starting the prerequisite module – Teaching and Training Adults (TATA 0023) – a mandatory orientation session is required to ensure that technical issues have been resolved prior to the first class.
