Your Connection – Online Learning
• Almost any dedicated broadband connection – Spectrum cable and Verizon Fios are most common here – is easily fast enough for most distance learning applications
• “Dedicated” = not shared – be aware of other applications and people that are sharing your bandwidth
• Mobile phone “hotspots” can work if needed• Online testing with UBLearns / Respondus requires a
continuous, stable Internet connection

Your Computer - Storage
• Be careful on quiz and exam days – running out of disk space can crash your computer!
• Internal hard drives MIGHT be upgradeable, but often aren’t• Some computers also support SD cards• External hard drives are an easy, inexpensive option (4TB <
$100)• Backing up to an external drive
• MacOS: Just connect the drive• Windows: connect the drive, then run “Backup and Restore”
or “File History”

Cloud Storage – Box Sync vs. Box Drive
• Box Sync – copies files to your local hard drive• Advantage: files are available even without an Internet
connection• Disadvantage: uses up local disk space

connection
