To ensure that you can view and participate in the live sessions effectively, a stable internet connection is required. A stable internet connection means a hard-wired landline connection or a wifi connection where students can control the number of users on that connection. That is, connecting by wifi in a Starbucks will only work if that Starbucks is nearly empty. If it gets busy, the strength of each connection weakens; the background noise will become overly distracting. Instead, you should find a regular, stable, and quiet location from which to join the online class. Connecting from moving vehicles is not recommended. You will need a laptop or computer; having a phone or tablet is not sufficient for completing some of the online assignments. You will also need a webcam and a microphone.
