TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS

Computer and Web Browser

To be able to access Maitripa online, it is necessary to have access to a PC or Mac computer, with a suitable web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc). In addition, you will need to have Java installed in your computer (see how to download Java below).

Internet Connection

In order to access the audio and video files and some of the other materials, you will need to have a relatively fast Internet connection, either DSL or broadband. If you only have a dial-up phone connection, it will be difficult to access these materials, as it will take a very long time to download them. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you obtain access to a high-speed connection.

Java

The free program Java is necessary to use the site. If you do not already have it installed on your computer, you can download Java by clicking on the following link:  http://www.java.com/en/

Media Player

You will need to have a suitable media player and sound card in your computer in order to access the audio and video files. Most computers already have Windows Media Player installed and this is fine for both audio and video files, but other audio and video players are also suitable. Check whether your player works and, if not, you can download Windows Media Player (both for PC and Mac) by clicking on the following link:

Adobe Reader

In order to read and print study material available as text files (mainly PDF files), it is necessary to have Adobe Reader on your computer. If this program is not already installed on your computer, you can download this free program by clicking on the following link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
