System requirements
Minimum technical expectations for the online learning environment. Your IT team can use this as a checklist.
Internet connectivity
Cable, Fiber, DSL, or LEO Satellite (i.e. Starlink) internet with speeds of at least 10mb/sec download and 5mb/sec upload are recommended for the best experience.
While cellular hotspots may allow access to our courses, users may experience connectivity issues by trying to access our learning management system. This is due to the potential high download and upload latency of cellular connections. Therefore, it is not recommended that students use a cellular hotspot as their primary way of accessing their courses.
Hardware
- CPU: 1 GHz or higher
- RAM: 4 GB or higher
- Resolution: 1280 x 720 or higher. 1920x1080 resolution is recommended for the best experience.
