Important Notes
Students should use a desktop or laptop. Tablets are not recommend. Phones should not be used for online class.
It is also recommended to use headphones, preferably with a microphone attached or alongside an external webcam with microphone. Microphones built into computers often do not capture audio well and may result in difficulty being understood.
