- A webcam, e.g. built-in to a laptop or a USB webcam.
- Audio input and output suitable for video conferencing. A headset or earbuds with a microphone is recommended. Speakers and a microphone can be acceptable but need to be tested to check they do not introduce echo into a video conference.
- A stable internet connection with minimum 1.5 Mps up/down. Test your A wifi or mobile connection can be acceptable, if it is adequately stable to perform well during a video conference.
- A suitable study space - most activities can be completed in a relatively quiet space; a private room is required for some assessment activities.

- at least 32GB free storage for multimedia editing,
- faster CPUs for intensive data processing,

- An additional monitor can be very useful for students to view lecture notes or work collaboratively on documents during a video conference.
