If you will be using a computer at work
You will need to ask your Network Administrator for permission to use
the computer for coursework and weekly chats.
Some of our communications programs require software to be downloaded
to your computer; these will definitely need permission from the

When it comes to technology and online courses, a key to success is your ability and willingness to problem-solve!
There will always be technological issues facing you, so you can't give up...you
have to be creative and persistent, looking for ways to make the computer do
what you need it to do.
And don't be afraid to ask for help. You can talk with friends, co-workers, or
RANA and APU staff to help you meet a technological challenge.
