Technical
Requirements support all assignments, quizzes, and exams. Although there is some flexibility
in the type of PC or laptop you can use to access the online learning
environment, there are also specific requirements and limitations. The most
recent information about hardware, network, and operating system
compatibility is featured below. New hardware/software combinations are
coming out all the time, and version changes to things like web browsers may
affect your ability to access resources for this course. If you are having trouble
accessing either Canvas or LabMentors from a particular device, operating
system, or network location, please try to change one or more of these
elements to see if you can get access with a different combination. If all else
fails, feel free to post any questions in our Tech Help discussion board thread.
This thread will allow your classmates to offer solutions. It will also make the
instructor aware of your issues and provide the opportunity to give feedback
that may be helpful to you and others.
1. You must use a computer running a Microsoft operating system such as
XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 in order to do the Windows
7 labs in this class. You will not be able to install the lab application required to
do the labs for this class on NSC lab computers or on Apple or Linux desktops,
so you need to have access to your own Windows-based computer to do the
Windows 7 labs.
2. NSC is not responsible for assuring students have Internet access from
home or other remote locations. Students are responsible for assuring access
to the Internet in order to access the Canvas and LabMentors websites. The
instructor will assist you with troubleshooting any network connection
problems, but ultimate responsibility for finding a working network connection
is yours.
3. Some netbooks will only display this Canvas website properly when using
an external monitor due to resolution problems with the smaller screens.
Support for netbooks is not guaranteed.
4. Smartphones, phones and slate or tablet computers are not supported in
this class. You may or may not be able to run the labs and/or Canvas website
using these devices.
