• have access to a computer and high speed internet
• have a supported browser and browser tools
• have computer and web skills in order to do course work
• read and write in English as all of our courses are conducted in English
• commit to about 4 to 6 hours per week per course

Most Lakeland College online courses will use Lakeland's learning management system, Desire2Learn or Microsoft Teams.

You aren't limited to a particular type of computer or smart device. But, you do have to have particular browsers and other software.

Most web platforms require:

• up-to-date web browsers including Chrome, Edge and Mozilla Firefox
• enabled cookies
• enabled JavaScript

If you aren't sure what any of those requirements are, do a quick systems check on the D2L page. It will tell you if your computer is set up properly.
