System: hardware & software requirements

• The content is presented as webpages (HTML) driven from university servers.
• You require a device with a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Chrome or Firefox.
• We also included video clips which will require a video player and sound. Although embedded in the web browser you can opt to play these video clips in an external video player. Examples include Windows Media Player or VLC player.
• An Internet connection is preferable as there are numerous links to online resources.
• Access to a printer is also recommended if you wish to print documents such as templates needed to complete your assignments.

  We strongly recommend, in the interests of saving paper, that documents are saved in your preferred online journal instead of being printed.

• This icon is used for links to documents in a pdf format. You need a PDF-reader such as Acrobat Reader or a web browser that opens these files directly.
• You may wish to utilise some online apps and tools such as Edublogs or Memoires for reflective exercises and records, or graphic organisers such as MindMeister, SimpleMindFree or CmapsTools. All of this can be found by clicking on them individually.
