Computer Resources
The computer and network resources required for the UNCG iSchool are simple and flexible:
- You’ll need high-speed Internet connectivity, typically provided over DSL, cable or T3 lines.
- Your computers can be either Windows- or Mac-based, with 600 MHz or more of operating speed and 190 MB RAM.
- You can use either the latest Windows or Macintosh Internet browser software and will need Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint programs.
- Our courses take advantage of the latest Flash and QuickTime plug-ins, as well as Real Audio player and Acrobat reader – all typically preloaded on today’s PCs (or easily downloaded for free from the Web).
- Computers should be sound-capable with a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher.
- If your school doesn’t have a computer lab or if your PCs are dated, UNCG iSchool may be the leverage you need to pursue an upgrade – whether funded by your district, a foundation or corporate gift, or through a local fundraiser.
