Minimum computer requirements students in ICCL-DLC

The student must have a computer that can support the higher bandwidth and processing requirements of Adobe Connect. Most recent computers purchased since 2008 will probably be compatible. Please note that netbooks are not recommended because of the small screen size and undersized processor. If you are purchasing a computer for this purpose we highly suggest a robust computer with a minimum of a high speed dual processor and at least 2 GB of RAM. Students can use Windows PCs, MACs and other systems (see listing below). In addition the students must have a webcam and a quality USB headset to fully participate in the class. We recommend Logitech USB headsets for this purpose although other brands may work well. Lastly the student must be connected to a high speed Internet connection such as DSL, Cable Internet or FIOS. Since we are sharing audio and video between students and the professor we suggest the using the fastest speed connections your Internet vendor can provide.
