Projects will be required in MS Office format so any program you have that allows for saving in that format is fine. I recommend MS Office or the free, open source package, Open Office.
internet connection
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, 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. Accommodations will NOT be made if you experience technical difficulties due to use of a wireless Internet service provider.
