Each school has its own online learning management system (LMS), such as Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle, and technology requirements can differ slightly between them. This is why it’s always good to check with your MSN program for guidance on this issue before classes begin.
At a minimum, you’ll want to make sure your computer or any other device you’ll use for classes is equipped for email, internet browsing, and web chat (microphone and webcam required). You’ll also need a word processing program to write papers, as well as the ability to create videos and slide presentations. It’s a good idea to have a cloud storage option as well. If your internet connection speed isn’t adequate for quick file upload/download or streaming videos without interruption, you might look into a service upgrade before you begin studying online.
