Welcome!

All students enrolled in the course MUST have access to the proper technical equipment. Without access to all of the following items, you will not be able to complete assignments, or to engage in the course:

1. An up-to-date computer, that you can access for a MINIMUM of 6 hours per week, with internet access (high speed is strongly recommended).

2. The following software: Microsoft Word or another editing program, Powerpoint, Firefox (you can download for free).

3. Access to a scanner and/or a digital camera that is compatible with your computer (this means you would be able to hook the camera up to your computer and upload the images right onto your computer.) If you are in Vancouver you are able to access a scanner in one of the computer labs, and possibly a digital camera from AV.  A high quality camera on a smartphone could also work - you just need to make sure you can adequately document your work to upload to the course site for critiques etc. Adobe Photoshop (CS3, CS4, CS5 or CS6) or another photo editing program is also strongly recommended to process your images.
