Technical Requirements

What Are the Technical Requirements?

This course uses a new set of digital course materials designed using open educational resources (OER) instead of a traditional textbook.

You can freely access all readings, videos, quizzes and other activities designed to help you remember what you learn–you do not need to purchase a textbook. For this class, you will need a healthy connection to the Internet, the right browser version, and information on where to get help.
