HOME TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS

Reliable Internet Connection

Video conferencing requires a very fast Internet connection. We require the following minimum Internet connection speed per CONNECT system:

  • Download speed: 10 Mb/s
  • Upload speed: 1.5 Mb/s
  • Wireless Router/Access point: 802.11n

You can test the speed of your connection at http://www.speedtest.net. If your connection does not meet the minimum requirements, you must contact your Internet Service Provider to upgrade your connection for the length of your class. Inability to connect or remain connected is not an excuse for failing to participate in live classes. The minimum speeds listed above assume the system is the sole bandwidth consumption device on the network for the interim of the class period. Adjustments to these minimums need to be made for other devices on your network.

Computer and Operating System

Video conferencing, with its multiple simultaneous video connections, demands a good deal from your computer. Make sure it meets the following requirements:

 

WINDOWS USERS

  • Supported Platforms: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10
  • Minimum System Requirements:

    • 2 GB of RAM minimum (4 GB or more recommended)

* Additional softwares are required to participate in the live virtual classes.

Webcam

HD webcam is required (720p-1080p). Most newer laptops have a built-in webcam that meets these requirements. If you don’t have a built-in webcam, please purchase a USB HD-capable webcam.

Headset and Microphone

The built-in speakers and microphone on your computer will work efficiently. However, we recommend the use of a headset (headphones with a microphone) for the best audio quality.

Please note that Apple Earphone and Mic (the item that comes standard with an iPhone) are not acceptable for video conferencing.

Additional Requirements

You will need access to a printer and flat-bed scanner to submit assignments.
