DigiLearn Text Courses:

DigiLearn Text courses are self-paced reading instruction and have no special system requirements. We recommend Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape/Mozilla version 4.0 or higher, for quality display. Text courses contain simple navigation that allows you to advance from page to page or skip through sections you have already read. You can stop and restart your course as much as you'd like and can quickly resume where you left off by clicking a topic from the table of contents.

Click on the requirements below for more details:

• Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 or Windows XP

  Most PC's capable of running Windows 95 or greater will meet our basic requirements. Pentium 166 or greater, 64 meg of Ram and the ability to play sound. Macintosh or Unix based users may be able to view our text courses, but we are unable to offer technical support for our Rich-Media audio courses on these operating systems.

  
  

• Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.1 or higher and sound

  Windows 98 Second edition and later versions of Windows came pre-installed with Windows Media player 6.1 or later, which is suitable for our Rich-Media Audio courses. Some Windows 95 PC's and older Windows 98 systems may have an out-of-date version of Windows media player and will require a free update. To check what version of Windows Media Player you have or to install an updated version, click here.

  
  

• Microsoft Powerpoint installed or the Free Microsoft PowerPoint Add-in

  If your PC has Microsoft Office installed, you may already have PowerPoint and the ability to view PowerPoint slides. If you don't have PowerPoint, or are unsure if you do, you can install the free PowerPoint Add-In from Microsoft. For details on how to download and install this small add-in, click here.

  
  

Before you download and update your Windows Media Player, first check what version you have. Version 6.1 or higher is sufficient for our Rich-Media Audio courses. To check your version of Windows Media Player:

1. Open Windows Media Player by clicking your Start menu, then select All Programs ... Accessories ... Entertainment and click on the Windows Media Player icon.
2. Once you have opened Windows Media Player, select the Help menu and About Windows Media Player [screenshot]
