14 - Technical Requirements

Courses are accessible anytime and anywhere high-speed Internet is available.  
Content is viewable on cloud-based computers, such as Chromebooks, as well as Mac and Windows computers. Most content is available on tablets, but it is not recommended that work is submitted using a tablet or phone.

If you are taking your PVOnline course on a PVSchools campus, the computers will satisfy all the technical requirements necessary for you to participate.

If you are taking the course off-campus, you are responsible to ensure your computer meets the listed technical requirements:
  • computer with an updated Operating System - Macintosh OS X or Windows 7, or Chrome OS minimum are recommended
  • high speed internet connection
  • Internet browser - ChromeFirefox, or Safari are recommended (browsers should be updated to the latest version)
  • Do not use Internet Explorer  as it has caused work to be lost and issues with formatting.
  • Google Drive through your PVSchools email account
  • safe plug-ins may be required on some assignments
  • allow pop-ups to appear in your browser

You are now ready to complete the Assignments in the Getting Started Unit.  Please go to your Course Syllabus.
