Computer and Computer Skill Requirements

---

Welcome to the Computer and Computer Skill Requirements module. To take an online course, you need to have the appropriate computer hardware and software and some general computer skills. We don’t believe you need to be a computer expert to take an online course, but knowing some basic facts about your computer will help you be a more satisfied and successful online student.

For a list of the computer hardware and software required to take an online course at Grant MacEwan College, click here.

We will help you assess your current computer equipment and your computer skills.

If you are not sure your computer meets the minimum requirements, we will walk you through an exercise to gather basic information about your own computer.

We will also discuss plug-ins; what they are, which ones you will need, and how you can get them.
