Technical

Technical Requirements The course and the various functionality used is meant to work on any moderately up-to-date computer and browser.

You should have high speed Internet access to do this course.

You should be able to access this course using any of the latest browsers - Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. Certain functionality may work better on some browsers than on others, though that may also depend on the computer you are using to access the functionality.

You should have a Gmail account. (Note that a Gmail account is a Google account.) If you do not, you can create one for free here. If you are under 18 years of age, you may want to discuss this with your parents. You can use your Chinese name in order to protect your privacy. Once you have created your Gmail account, please email the instructor so that he can invite you to the progress tracking spreadsheet.

You should also create a free account at Voicethread.com. Here you should use your Gmail account as your login name.

And of course by now you should already have an account here at Wikispaces. If not click on the link and create a free account. Once again, it may make the most sense to use the same Gmail account in order to keep everything in one place.
