Please review the system requirements to ensure your device and Internet setup meet hardware, software, and bandwidth requirements.
Enjoy ASHA Professional Development online courses from any device—all you need is an Internet connection! We recommend using a wired broadband connection—wireless, mobile, satellite, and dial-up connections are not always as fast or stable. On rare occasions, disruptions to your Internet connection can result in courses freezing or closing abruptly. If this occurs, simply log in again and rejoin.
A live Internet video feed that is clear and uninterrupted requires sufficient bandwidth. If you plan to take a course in an environment with limited Internet bandwidth, encourage your peers to minimize their streaming activities (e.g., Internet radio, YouTube, downloading large files). Wi-Fi is not recommended because signal strength can vary, causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
