Computing resource requirements for distance education students
For computing subjects, students may complete requirements using
suitable software on any of a range of computers. All subjects can be completed
using a stand-alone microcomputer with modem. The Gippsland campus has networks
of IBM/PC and `compatibles,' and support is available for students using
recommended software on these or similar machines. Students with other
microcomputers which are not IBM or compatible should consult the course
adviser or individual subject adviser to determine requirements.
Additionally, those students with access to a university, institute or tertiary
college campus may use terminals or dial-up modems at their local site to
access university computers via AARNet. Remote (eg interstate or northern and
western Victoria) students can use the AUSTPAC network to access university
computers. Contact the Distance Education Resources Centre or your course
adviser for details.
Some computing subjects require access to the university or other suitable
timesharing computers for use of software which is not available in the
microcomputer environment
