Help and Technical Requirements Here are some technical tips to make your NewsU experience more enjoyable. Most of our e-learning modules require the Flash plug-in, which you can download from Macromedia. Click here to get the player. For the best experience, we suggest that: - PC users use Internet Explorer or Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox
- Mac users use Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox or Safari
- You set your monitor resolution to 800 x 600, but 1024 x 768 or higher is better
- You use a high-speed connection
- You turn on your sound card
Check individual courses for more specific technical requirements.
