Internet Requirements
Internet Service Provider
You'll need a reliable, high speed broadband Internet connection for this class, e.g., DSL or cable. Wireless mobile internet service providers, e.g., ClearWire, AT&T Wireless, or Verizon Wireless, are NOT recommended for this course due to connectivity problems with Laulima. If you choose to use a wireless mobile provider when taking this course, you may jeopardize your chances of completing online assignments and activities.
