How can we help you?
Devices
Yes. To participate in our online program, students must have consistent, frequent access to a computer. However, please note that our systems are not compatible with Apple Mac products.
Primary students can share a device as long as it meets the specifications outlined in the Technology Requirements for Online Studying. Secondary students are required to have their own dedicated device. You can find the recommended minimum device specifications here.
Certain subjects require software that exclusively operates on the Windows platform. Due to this requirement, we strongly recommend using a Windows-based computer. Although students may be able to perform most activities using a Mac OS X computer, it is important to note that it is not fully supported.
Yes. Each family requires a printer and scanner. Scanners must be capable of scanning to a PDF document. This hardware enables resources to be printed as required, and completed work to be scanned for submission.
Internet
Yes, throughout the duration of the course, students will frequently need the internet to access online learning materials, download files, participate in online chat sessions, submit assessments, and download video content. A dependable broadband internet connection is essential. To test whether the internet connection is sufficient go to speedtest.net and run the test. A download speed of at least 1000 kbps (1.0 Mbps), and an upload speed of 256 kbps (0.25 Mbps) is required. Data caps above 15GB are recommended.
Learner Link is the College’s digital learning management system that contains online coursework (including teaching and learning tools). It operates on a platform known as Canvas and is used by teachers to deliver teaching and learning. Students are enrolled into their subjects through the platform and submit their work in the submission portals of those courses.
