The Calendar course description or the Web course syllabi will indicate the delivery mode of each course. The Internet provides access to practice and testing activities and learning resources on the World Wide Web. To take advantage of this optional delivery mode , students require access to a computer with specific configurations . Students choosing this option must also have an ISP connection and their own Internet account with graphical Internet access. A link to course-specific computer system requirements is found on the COMP course syllabi on Athabasca University's Web site.
Students are responsible for Internet-access costs.
If you are still unsure of the computer requirements, contact the course coordinator. The amount of online activity varies among courses from participating in computer conferencing to the setting up of student Web site projects and downloading much of the learning materials in electronic format.
