What are the hardware requirements to use the MacroVOLT software?
Requirements are minimal because MacroVOLT is a Web-based system. Almost all of the software runs on the huge MacroVOLT Central Server in Rockville, MD. Each administrator, course developer, instructor, and student downloads a tiny software module that will run on the user’s local PC computer. (The Mac format is not supported at this time.) The PC computer needs no special storage or processing capability since the Central Server carries the load. Broadband Web access (cable modem, DSL, network with T-1) is necessary for courses using audio and video. The system will work with a dial-up connection, but course developers will need to base such courses on text and smaller graphics to avoid frustrating modem users.
