Course-specific Technical Requirements
Hardware and Software
The instructor and students will each need their own Windows 8 RT tablet with Office 2013 RT software. Both the operating system and the Office Home and Student 2013 RT software are pre-installed on the Windows 8 RT Tablet. 
Additional considerations for each student and the instructor: 
•	Provide Internet access through a wireless network that is not password protected. Providing a password protected network is optional. 
•	Provide the instructor with a connection from their Windows 8 RT Tablet to a projection system to display the screen. 
•	If you have remote students, they may find it helpful to have a computer in addition to their tablet, which they can use instead of the tablet to connect to the class session. 
•	The instructor may find it helpful to have a workstation to host the web conferencing session, share the classroom camera, and display the PowerPoint slides. They can log in to the session as a participant on their tablet, and share the tablet desktop to demonstrate hands-on activities.
