Course Technology Information

Necessary Technologies

Students in this course will need a working and reliable computer and Internet access. The primary tools used in the course are housed within the Canvas environment, but students will also need access to Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, PPT, etc.), Google products (Docs, Sheets, etc.), and Zoom. (Change to match the technologies you use!)

Mobile Access Disclaimer

Though Canvas provides a mobile app which works well for the majority of course content, this course site is still best viewed via a desktop or laptop running a complete operating system, as opposed to a tablet or smartphone. Some interactive course elements may not be viewable via mobile devices, and it is certainly not recommended that you attempt to complete assignments or take graded quizzes or tests via mobile devices.
