Technical requirements

• This class will require internet access.
• You will be expected to “bring your own device” (BYOD).
• Your device must be installed with a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
• If you are running Microsoft Windows, you should have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed.
• If you are running macOS, you will need to install Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac (by Microsoft) from the App Store.
• If you are running Linux, you may install Remmina from their distribution (if available) or following instructions at https://remmina.org (if not).  If they prefer, they may instead install the FreeRDP clients from their Linux distribution (in the freerdp package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux).
