Students will be expected to use computers
for several important tasks in the Psy.D. program on a
regular basis. First, all students are issued a Regent
e-mail account and it is vital that students check there
Regent e-mail frequently. Second, the Psy.D. classes make
extensive use of a supplemental virtual learning environment
called Blackboard. Students will need stable access to
the Internet to use Blackboard. Weekly course materials,
syllabi and even online assignments/exams are distributed
or administered exclusively through Blackboard. Students
may access Blackboard and their Regent e-mail through the
computer labs located on campus but it is strongly recommended
that each student have access to a home computer for these
purposes. Extensive use of the word processors for writing
and revising papers is also expected. Students will typically
have to access files in MS Word or PDF format. The program
currently uses a Windows XP environment with Office XP
applications as the standard work tools. Students are advanced
to purchase and maintain a compatible computer (either
a desktop or laptop).
The IT department for Regent University
has compiled a list of recommended
hardware and software. Students are encouraged to own
personal computers that meet these recommended hardware
and software guidelines. |
