Basic Tech Requirements

Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is Selkirk's Learning Management System (LMS). You may have access to your syllabus, course calendar, assignments and other course materials and functions via Moodle. Moodle is a web-based program; therefore, you will need a computer with Internet access and an Internet browser to use Moodle for your course. 

These basic computer requirements are a general guideline for all courses. It is important to check with your instructor for specific hardware and software required for the course and/or program you are registered in.

NOTE:  Mobile devices and tablets are not recommended for completing or submitting course activities.  Connection to Cloud services for file submissions is not supported at this time.
