What type of computer will I need for online eLearning?
Although the actual minimum computer requirements vary by school, most are driven by the requirements imposed by the Course / Content Management System (CMS) or Learning Management System that is used to deliver the course materials. Once you pick a school, you should check their website for their specific minimum requirements. Typically, the minimum requirements for these systems are as follows:
Mac OS 9 or better
128 MB RAM
G3 processor or better
At least 56Kbps modem connection (although Broadband / fast access is preferred)
Windows 98 SE or better
128 MB RAM
Pentium III or better (or at least a processor running 333 Mhz or better)
At least 56Kbps modem connection (although Broadband / fast access is preferred)
