Technology Requirements and Technical Skills

A reliable internet connection is necessary to participate in discussions and assignments, access readings, transfer course work, and receive feedback from your instructional associate and/or professor. For web-based courses, students should have a basic working knowledge of computers and internet use as well as access to a computer with a broadband (DSL, cable, satellite) internet connection, a microphone and speaker, and a web-camera. At the instructor's discretion, students may need to have access and competence with specific software, applications, and tools such as proctoring solutions, polling apps, and communication solutions. Other requirements for each course are listed in the Dillard University Academic Catalog.
