-
- For general computer hardware, students are recommended to have access to a computer capable of running the latest browsers (see below). This will enable access to wider institutional software and tools, including Microsoft Office 365, Blackboard Anthology virtual learning environment, Collaborate Class virtual webinar system, Panopto multimedia player and the Library Systems. The computer (laptop or desktop) should be multimedia enabled with a webcam, and students are also recommended to have a headset with built-in microphone.
- You can access many of our learning systems and tools using mobile phones or tablets, and some platforms offer dedicated apps. However, we strongly advise that these are only used as secondary devices. For full functionality, reliability, and access to all assessment features, we strongly recommend using a laptop, PC or Mac as your primary device.
