Technical Requirements One Spirit Learning Alliance makes use of technological advances to increase the quality of our students’ experience. In order to communicate effectively with other students, faculty, and staff, applicants must have the following technical capabilities by the time class begins in 2007.The following requirements are mandatory for all students, whether attending or distance, no matter how they receive class recordings: • Regular, personal access to a computer with a connection to the Internet (broadband access strongly encouraged) • A printer (all assignments must be submitted typewritten) • An email account • Familiarity with the basics of computer use, especially in knowing how to access websites, download files, and how to send, receive and manage email. Class recordings will be distributed through Internet subscriptions called podcasts. Free podcasting software on the student’s computer regularly checks for any new audio files in the class subscription and automatically downloads the audio to the computer’s hard disc. The student can then listen to the audio at their convenience. Since podcasts are MP3 audio files, they can be transferred to an MP3 player such as Apple’s iPod or burned to compact disc in the MP3-CD format. Podcast Technical Requirements: • A Multimedia-ready computer that is capable of displaying graphics, animation, audio and limited video. Almost all computers sold today have that capability. • Broadband access to the Internet (Cable, Satellite or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or comparable) through an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). • Ample available hard disc space to receive audio files (500MB minimum, 2 GB recommended). • Optional: Students can make podcasts portable by transferring them from your computer to a portable audio device: • An MP3 player, such as Apple’s iPod. • With a CD burner, students may burn MP3 files to recordable CDs for playing in new portable CD players that support the MP3-CD format. Audio on MP3-CD Alternative Students who live in rural areas and are unable to subscribe to broadband Internet access may elect to receive the audio recordings in the MP3-CD format via Priority Mail for an additional fee of $95 per school year to cover manufacturing and shipping expenses. • Many CD-players, DVD players and most computers manufactured in the last ten years are able to play the MP3-CD format. • Using a computer, MP3 files can be transferred from CD to an MP3-player.
