Having either a desktop or laptop computer is recommended for online learning; a webcam, microphone and speakers or headset, and a stable internet connection.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have access to the necessary technology to complete assigned coursework and activities.
Connecting to a Zoom meeting
Any device with a built-in camera, microphone and speakers should be sufficient (e.g. laptop, tablet or phone). However, some participation features like raising your hand, voting, or chat, may be different on a mobile device compared to on a laptop.
If you share internet access with others, several users connected to different Zoom meetings, using the same internet connection, could impact connectivity.
Note: A smart phone or tablet may be sufficient for some academic activities. They are not a substitute for a full function desktop or laptop for University-level remote learning.
Using a smartphone for UR Courses is possible, but not recommended.
Most smartphones work well for Zoom as they have a camera, microphone, and speakers.
