Is a dial up connection to the Internet adequate?
You will not need more than a dial up connection to the Internet. Some of the classes will have electronic versions of the lectures available for download (see above). On a standard 56k modem with average connection speed it will not take more than 20 minutes to download a 50-minute lecture in MP3 format. The lecture presentations with audio (see above) are streamed which means you can watch and listen to it as it is downloaded but a broadband connection is still not necessary. Because of the audio formats we are using you will be able to listen to the lectures on your computer as many times as you want after they are downloaded.
