Technology

Technology Required

Participants must have access to email, the Internet, and have the ability to read a CD-ROM or DVD. In addition, participants should have current versions of their computer's operating system, word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software. Being an online program, participants will be required to send and receive large files of information. Therefore, participants need an up-to-date computer, microphone and speakers or headset with mic, and a DSL or other high-speed Internet connection. To be successful, participants need to allocate sufficient time to participate in online classes and discussion groups and to complete all assignments as described in the syllabus for each course. All testing is conducted online. Because this is a graduate level program in HRD, participants must be prepared to allocate six to eight hours a week for each course taken in order to be successful.

Blackboard

Blackboard is Clemson's primary course development and documentation tool, used by colleges, universities, and other learning organizations worldwide. Each MHRD course is designed to provide students with information and resources to be successful. Within each course developed in Blackboard, students will find a course syllabus, study questions, discussion questions, Internet links, tests, and information about projects and papers.

Adobe Connect

Adobe® Connect™ is a powerful and flexible online meeting and conferencing tool used by the MHRD program. Using Adobe® Connect™ students and faculty can share documents, PowerPoint presentations, audio recordings and other media.

AET Zone

AET Zone is a 3-D virtual campus complete with meeting spaces, gardens, library, book store, and even a coffee shop. This virtual campus encourages students to participate in a unique learning environment that promotes community and collaboration.
