Requirements for zoom courses: We recommend a device with a larger screen (i.e. not a phone), a microphone and a camera. Course materials will be emailed to you a few days before the course. You may wish to have these printed if you have access to only one screen. We do not provide printed resources or course books for zoom classes.
Zoom course etiquette:
