Computer Compatibility for Online Classes
To participate in Career Coders Online Classes, you need to have a computer with Internet access (high-speed preferred). The best way to determine if your computer is compatible (and to install any missing components) is to go to:
Depending on your browser settings, you may need to allow Pop Ups. This site will test your settings and identify any missing components.
The Web site performs a preflight software check to make sure you have what you need. If a component is missing, the system either prompts you or automatically downloads the necessary component.
Here are the technical details:
Software
- Adobe Flash Player (sometimes referred to as “Macromedia” Flash) 8.0 or later
- Java 1.4.1 or higher
- Windows Pop-ups Enabled
Hardware
- Windows 2000, XP, or Vista for PCs
- Mac OS 10.2.8 or later for Macs
- Sound capability (speakers and/or headset)
Let us know if you have any issue with the Web site or updating your system (if necessary) at:
Headphones and webcams are optional.
Webcams are nice so I like to see my students. I can develop a relationship with them and to put a face to a name. Headphones are also optional but help to take out any distractions around you to help focus on the class being presented. Also if you need to ask a question, it is nice to talk to you about it. Otherwise you will need to use the chat area for questions.
