The online learning environment where your course will be taught is Brightspace. Brightspace has a ‘Virtual Classroom’, which is where our online and hybrid classes are held. Participation in the online or hybrid classes requires the following:
- A PC, laptop or Mac
- The Google Chrome browser. Make sure you have the latest version of the browser
- A webcam
- A headset or headphones/earphones with a microphone
- A good internet connection
Tips
- Make sure to test your computer, webcam, headset or internet connection in advance. Remember to give your browser permission to use your camera and microphone.
- If you don’t have a strong Wi-Fi signal, move closer to your router or use an internet cable.
- If you experience problems with your video, sound or connection in the Virtual Classroom, try refreshing your browser (or press the F5 key). You will then automatically return to the Virtual Classroom and you can turn your sound and camera back on.
