Be sure your computer is up to date and can run the functions in Blackboard and able to download materials as well. (Chromebook – We recommend that you not rely on your school Chromebook for your online APSI. Many schools place filters on their Chromebooks that may interfere with your ability to access and download materials and sessions in your APSI Institute shell. You may be fortunate and not encounter such problems. Why risk it? If you do encounter problems at your end due to the use of a Chromebook, your APSI tech support cannot resolve those problems for you. To avoid disappointment, use another option if it is available to you.
