Courseware is the software used to manage and keep track of your online learning experience. No matter which courseware program used, you should make sure your equipment meets the minimum requirements for taking courses with Online Learning. These are the basic requirements for every course. Many courses provide lectures in videotape or CD-ROM format. If you're in such a course, you will be required to view these electronic lectures in order to complete course assignments, projects and tests.
Some courses use Web-based, prescheduled audio conferences as part of the learning experience.
MeetingPlace is a conferencing system that allows you to attend conference calls. The purpose of this conferencing system is to collaborate on ideas, projects, and questions with the professor. You participate in an audio conference with your touch-tone phone. If you are unable to attend the conference, then you may access the recorded conference through its Web interface. Library Access RIT's Wallace Library resources, including electronic databases, full-text articles, document delivery, electronic reserves and interlibrary loan services, are accessible online to all online learning students.
