Internet access and technology requirements necessary for students desiring interactive course participation for live courses (Course Delivery Code – LC/LR) Internet Connection Requirements A student must have a broadband or high‐speed internet connection. Cable Modem, DSL or ADSL, or Satellite is acceptable. Dial‐up connections will not permit the required data exchange! If you do not have high‐speed internet, please make arrangements to order this service from your local provider. The minimum rates required are 128 kbit upload speed and 256 kbit download. Note: Some services are labeled “DSL” when in fact they are dial‐up connections with varying compression rates and cache servers located at central server locations which may give the sense of faster speed. If the rates at which you can transmit and receive data are not 128 kbit up and 256 kbit Down, you do not have a broadband connection or “DSL.” How to check Internet speed: Go to http://www.performance.toast.net to test “Upload Speed” and “Download Speed.” True high‐speed internet access will have download speeds in excess of 384 kbps (this being the minimum) and upload‐speeds of 128k (this also being the minimum). The internet service provider’s SLA (Service Level Agreement) is usually 70% of what you buy. At 256 Kbit you are promised 179 kbps. At 384 Kbit you are promised 268 kbps. A constant 179 kbps or better should work. But to get a true 256 kbit, the service would be rated at 384 kbps. Amridge University | 1.888.790.8080 | www.amridgeuniversity.edu 5 Computer Requirements Students must have a personal computer with minimum specifications of 1.0 GHz Pentium Processor or higher, Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack III, or Windows XP Professional Service Pack II; at least 256 MB of RAM; 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Network Interface Card; 16‐bit sound card and speakers along with USB or Analog external Headset; 65,000 color video display card; Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, or Netscape 7.0 or later. In order for Macintosh Computers to operate with SumitPoint2* interactive classroom collaboration software, the Macintosh must be equipped with Parallels Desktop for Mac, or equivalent software, in order to run Windows Operating System with Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer. Note: The University uses the most current versions of Blackboard, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe Reader. These programs are currently NOT fully compatible with Windows Vista. D‐I‐S‐C‐L‐A‐I‐M‐E‐R A student’s internet service provider (ISP) plays a key role in a student’s ability to view archived streaming video successfully. A student with a clean, sustained connection of DSL, cable access or satellite of 120 kilobits per second (kbps) or higher, should view streaming video at 80 kbps Surestream. A student with a clean, sustained connection of 40kbps or higher should view streaming video at 34kbps Surestream. A student with a clean, sustained connection of 26kbps or higher should view streaming video at 20kbps Surestream. How to check Internet speed: Go to (http://www.speedtest.net/) to test “Upload Speed” and “Download Speed.” If the test results are unsatisfactory, you may need to notify your ISP, change your ISP, or upgrade equipment before re‐testing. Amridge will help you interpret the test and suggest solutions.
