Remote Learning Students  

If you are a remote participant in the Fire Safety program you will use MS-TEAMs for most of your courses, enabled through our interactive remote classrooms in the Mechanical and Mechatronics Department.

In all our courses, we strive to provide an immersive, real-time experience where students seamlessly participate with the instructor and others in the class as if they were in the same location.

  • If you miss a class, you will have the opportunity to watch a recorded session of the class and email questions to the instructor.

When using the systems, the minimum requirements to ensure the quality of the experience are:

  • Up to date computer or laptop with 1GB video card and current drivers
  • Wired network connection with a minimum 1Mbps to 2 Mbps upload speed
  • Web camera, microphone, speakers or headphones
  • Microsoft Windows OS or current Mac OS (Linux is not supported at this time)
  • Some of our Link software is compatible with H323 or SIP standard systems (not Skype).
