Please note: 

We are not able to support learners with their own technology. Video conferencing sessions (Zoom and/or Microsoft Teams) and e-activities will not work effectively on a phone or tablet/iPad. All learners are required to fully participate in all online classroom activities, which is not possible if using a phone/tablet. Therefore, all learners registered for online classes must have access to a computer (laptop, desktop, Chromebook) and have adequate digital literacy skills. Learners who are not able to meet the requirements to fully participate in an online class, will be supported through alternative options.
