Software & Services
1. "My Reading Lab " Software:
This software is FREE with the purchase of a NEW Bridging the Gap
textbook.
2. Internet Provider:
e.g., ACCD's IDEA, Texas Net, Earthlink, etc.
(AOL may cause you problems) Any Dial up system will be SLOW.
High speed Internet, such as Roadrunner or DSL, will make the
course easier if your budget allows. With high speed Internet, your
access to the course platform and materials will be much faster and will
save you a lot of time and frustration.
3. Word processing Program:
e.g., Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Microsoft Works, etc. and
know how to use it.
4. Use a Current Web Browser - They can be downloaded free:
It is a good idea to have both browsers available on your computer.
a. Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser 6.0.2: From the
Microsoft Corporation at http://www.microsoft.com I prefer
that you use this browser.
b. Netscape Communicator 7.1, is also an excellent browser,
but it does not work well with all features of the instruction for
this course. The chapter presentations do NOT show well
in Netscape like they do in Explorer 6.0.2.
5. When the semester begins, I will ask that you download and install
other free software.
