BROWSER PLUGINS	INTERNET ACCESS
Some course content may require specific plugins in order to be displayed properly in a Web browser. The Plugin Tester provides access to the most common plugins as well as tests whether they have been installed.	Participants will need daily access to the World Wide Web, preferably through a high-speed connection (e.g., cable modem, DSL).You must also have access to a valid e-mail address. AOL: AOL users will not be able to use the AOL browser for most SPS Blackboard activities. AOL users will need to minimize the AOL browser, and then open and use either Internet Explorer or Netscape for their browser. CompuServe: It is highly recommended that CompuServe not be used as a participant's primary ISP. It is mostly incompatible with Blackboard and other applications that are used in courses and communication.
While it may be possible to access the online classes with a different setup than that listed above, Blackboard and the class work may not function properly. This situation will seriously affect your ability to successfully complete the classes
