What you need

At home or using the computer labs?

It is your choice whether to use your own computer or a computer on campus. If you have a computer with a local Internet connection, you may find the 24 hour access convenient.

Computer laboratories

Depending on the subject, lectures can be accessed from the computer labs at:

  • Wollongong
  • Bega
  • Bateman's Bay
  • Shoalhaven
  • Moss Vale
  • Loftus (coming soon).

Your subject coordinator or tutor will let you know which labs are available for your subject.

What do I need to use eduStream at a computer lab?

Please bring your own headphones to use eduStream at a University computer lab.

Before you buy headphones, talk to the coordinator of the lab you will usually use. They can advise you about what kind you need.

What do I need to use eduStream at home?

Computer with speakers

1. A computer with a sound card and speakers

You can use eduStream from most computers. PC and Macintosh are both supported. You will need a sound card. External speakers are recommended.

Modem

2. A modem (or broadband)

A 56K modem or broadband is recommended. However, eduStream will work on many 14K or 28K modems. The sound will still be good and the lectures will be reasonably clear and audible.

Some home modem users may find they can't use the visualiser version of eduStream. An audio-only alternative will always be available for these users. The difference in quality is due to low connection speeds on some computers.

ISP

3. Local access to the Internet

If you don't have access to the Internet at home, you will have to organise this yourself. You will need to find an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in your local area to offer you a reasonably priced package. Alternatively, you can use eduStream on campus.

Get QuickTime

4. QuickTime software

Many computers already have QuickTime installed. If not, QuickTime installer is provided free on the Apple web site.
