Content support:

Many courses require students to link to outside resources to complete the course.  These outside resources can include links to YouTube, TED Talks, etc. Depending on your country of origin or your school's internet filters, some course content may not be available.  Please review the demo course before ordering to ensure the course can be completed as delivered and that students will not have issues accessing all course content.

Mobile browsers supported:

Mobile browser support varies.  The student information system and the learning management system are mobile-compatible.  However, certain courses may contain certain elements that are not mobile-supported. These elements may include plugins or the requirement to install software. 

If specific critical browser-related incompatibilities come to our attention, these will be placed in the announcements area of our student information system.

An Internet connection of at least 1.5 Mbps is highly recommended.

Required/Recommended software:

Recommended and required software for each course is listed in its demo.  Each course has a materials section under course information that lists free plugins or utilities that may be helpful for completing the course, as well as paid materials, such as textbooks or software. Please consult the course material section or your instructor for specific questions about software requirements as needed.
