Online courses require the following:

Computer with access to the Internet. This is critical, as you cannot take an online course without access to the Internet.

FCCJ offers all paid and enrolled students a FREE email account and Dial-In Access. If you have a computer with a modem, you can use FCCJ's Dial-In service to connect to the Internet free of charge. You must have an FCCJ student e-mail account before you can use the student dialup services. For information about how to activate your Student Account and Dial-In Service, see http://www.fccj.edu/current/stucomputing/internetdialup.html.

 An e-mail account, see above for information about FCCJ account access.

Web-browser software (at least Internet Explorer 4.5 download now, or Netscape 4.7 download now)

Windows 95 operating system equivalent or higher

Virus-checking software such as Norton or McAfee

 I use PowerPoint in my classes. In order to view PowerPoint presentations, you must have PowerPoint on your computer, OR download the free PowerPoint Viewer from Microsoft web site. All course content is available in HTML, and PowerPoint format is optional.

In addition, I often use Flash or QuickTime.

All written assignments must be in Microsoft Word format. If you do not have Word, within your word processing program save the file as text or html, then submit.  I may also be able to accept Microsoft Works.
