How To Prepare for an Online Class

  1. Set-Up Your Computer

    Run the SET-UP WIZARD to ensure that the audio and other computer settings will work correctly. You will need earphones or speakers to hear the instruction and other students' questions. Alternatively, you can dial in using a local Vancouver phone number and PIN - please let us know if you need that information.

    We recommend a wired connection as wireless can often have periodic outages affecting the quality of the sound and visuals.

    Please see the list of recommended browsers eg. Safari is recommended for Macs.

  2. Log-in 15 minutes before class

    Log-in at least 15 minutes early to make sure everything is working properly. When you log-in, type a nickname or alias in the Participant Login box. This class may be recorded and archived for your use and others in your class. By using a nickname or alias, this will better protect your privacy.
