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.
