Computer Requirements
Taking a distance learning course, particularly an online course, requires special computer equipment and related technology. At the very minimum, you will need:
Are you using America Online (AOL)?
If you use America Online (AOL) for Web access, you will need
the AOL version 4.0 or higher client
and the Internet Explorer 5.0 browser.
For best results with AOL:
Connect to the Internet using AOL version 4.0 or higher
Open a private chat within AOL (this allows the AOL client
to remain open, without asking if you wish
to disconnect while minimized)
Minimize AOL
Launch a recommended browser
Some courses may require additional software. For details
about specific course requirements, make sure you carefully
check your class syllabus and talk with your instructor
about any special needs.
You
must have Internet access before you can access your online
course. FCCJ also provides
students with
free
dial-up Internet access.
