What equipment and software do I need for Blackboard and online learning?
Answer
It is important to have a reliable internet connection and enough bandwidth to watch videos and participate in classes.
How fast is your download speed? A free speed test is available at Fast.com. RDP recommends a 5.0 Mbps or higher Internet connection for online learning.
You should also have a headset, or microphone and speakers. A webcam may also be useful.
In addition to that, look through RDP's Computer Requirements section to see what other technology and software is recommended for online learning.
