Minimum requirements to use the TAFE Virtual Campus

The TAFE VC web site, now incorporating WebCT Campus Edition, can be best viewed with following minimum configuration:

Supported Web Browsers: WebCT 3.7
For WebCT courses using WebCT version 3.7, the following browsers are recommended:

Windows 98/Me/2000/XP

Netscape 4.76 and 6.2.1
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, including 6.0
AOL 7.0 (Note: AOL 7.0 does not function with Chat/Whiteboard)

Go to Browser Tune Up for using WebCT


Screen Resolution: 800 pixels x 600 pixels
This is the most used screen resolution. However some older computers are configured in 640 x 480 pixels. This resolution will make it more difficult to read but not impossible.

Browser should be Javascript
Enabled The TAFE VC uses many Javascript commands. Javascript is a language allowing more interactivity than HTML.

Accept Cookies set to ON
Cookies are small data objects stored on your hard drive to allow "shortcuts" when accessing individual sites often.

Correct Proxy
Setting Proxy servers are often used when accessing the Internet from within an organisation like a TAFE Institute. If one exists, the Web browser, either Internet Explorer or Netscape, have to be configured to recognise the proxy server.

Internet Connection
A good Internet provider will ensure speedy connection to the TAFE VC. The TAFE VC has a very fast connection to the Internet and is rarely the cause of access problems.

If you have any further questions regarding these minimum requirements, please email the TAFE VC help desk at help@tafevc.com. To speak with a Help Desk representative, contact 1800 896 122 (national toll-free number).
