Caution: |
Internet-only devices may not be appropriate for use in online courses. Most courses require that you be able to send your assignments as email attachments to your professor. These devices often cannot do this. |
Many courses also require that you have access to a word processing package, such as MS Word or another product compatible with it; a spreadsheet, such as MS Excel; and/or a database, such as MS Access.
Other courses may have additional requirements, such as computer courses (which may require that you have access to specialized software, such as programming languages) or mathematics courses (which may require calculators).
