A key part of our blended and online courses is the online learning experience. If you are considering or have applied for an e-learning course, you will need to make sure that your technology is up to date. 

What do I need to do?

Make sure you have a laptop or computer that: 

• Is relatively modern. 
• Has up-to-date software. 
• Has Google Chrome (our recommended web browser) installed. 

Test your access to Zoom, our video conferencing software. 

• For the webinars, e-tutorials and online meetings, we use Zoom Video Conferencing.
• You can test Zoom here to make sure it works and that you are comfortable using it.  
• If you are having any difficulty, please email our e-learning team. 

Ensure you have a good internet connection. 

• Test the speed of your internet. 
• We recommend that students have a minimum connection speed of 3 Mbps (megabytes per second).
