Minimum Computing Requirements

Prospective students will need regular access to a computer with a modern web browser and frequent (at least twice-weekly) access to the Internet. Dial-in access at Swinburne is extremely limited (and slow!) and so SAO students are expected to arrange their own Internet access.

This course has been optimised to be viewed in an Internet Explorer version 6 or higher, Mozilla Firefox version 2.5 or higher, or other modern browser supporting web2.0 standards. The online classroom and course content can be accessed with a PC, Mac or linux machine.

All SAO course material is available online via our content management system and includes access to dynamically download PDF files. The PDF files can be viewed with the free Adobe PDF reader. Some of the online material contains video content in a QuickTime format and so the QuickTime player is also recommended.
