Applications
The fact that so many software packages are now available as web browser applications negates to the need to have required programs loaded onto every student computer. AS such, students must have a device that can provide them with online access. Whether that is through a 4G Network – or via a modem. In general, students will need the following types of applications (other applications for use in specific classes may be required by the instructor):

  • Word Processing (compatible with MS Word)
  • Presentation (analogous to MS Powerpoint)
  • Spreadsheet (compatible with MS Excel)
  • Web Browser
