Question: What equipment is required to learn online?
Answer: Different schools have different requirements for their students. Most
schools require that students supply their own hardware,
including a computer that is able to access the internet at relatively
high speeds and view multimedia applications (If you're still running
anything that has a tape drive, it's time to upgrade). Standard
software is also a general requirement. Students will likely need to
have a word processing program, an email client, and a multimedia
player. Much of the required software is available in freeware
versions. Before you purchase anything, check to find out what
your schools' individual requirements are.
