For basic course access, a web browser that is Java and JavaScript enabled and that accepts cookies is required. You can use a variety of software programs to create your course materials, ranging from Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to HTML editors. You can also include any content in your course that can be displayed using a Web browser (e.g. PDF files, audio and video clips, animations, and graphics). Contact the instructional designer for help in choosing and using software to display content. If you use material in your course that requires students to use any browser plug-in or special software for viewing, remember to provide the necessary information on how/where to acquire and install the programs.
