Zoom Class Requirements

To ensure you have the best experience on this online platform, please refer to the following instructions and requirements before the start date of your class:
 
  1. Before the start date of your class, download the latest Zoom client for free at https://zoom.us/download, or install Zoom via Google Play or Apple Store if you are using a tablet. Zoom works best when used on a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet.
  2. To access your class, follow the Zoom link that will be provided via email from Kirkwood Continuing Education.
  3. You must have a working internet connection to access the class. Wired connection is preferred, but wireless is also acceptable. To make sure your class runs as smoothly as possible, please review the system requirements listed below.  You can also test your Internet speed at www.fast.com.
  4. You must have access to a webcam, microphone, and speakers, either built-in or external, to verify attendance and to participate fully in your class. Please refer to this site for camera and microphone suggestions.
  5. During your class session, we ask that you do not have fans or vents pointing towards your microphone as this can cause distracting audio-quality issues (under-desk fans or heaters are okay).
