This sample classroom will teach you about online education and introduce you to a typical UC Berkeley Extension Online classroom's interface and features.

Requirements

There are no formal prerequisites for this course, just curiosity and a sense of adventure!

A certain amount of computer know-how is necessary, however, and you will need to be comfortable using a Web browser and installing browser Face and Circuit Boardplugins. Also, please review the Technical Requirements section in the UC Berkeley Extension Online Help Area and make sure you have an adequate hardware and software configuration.

If your system meets the listed requirements, but you're still experiencing technical problems that you can't solve on your own by referring to the information in the Help Area, you can fill out and submit a Trouble Ticket. (If you haven't yet enrolled in your class, you may not have some of the information required by the form.)
