Do they have access to a computer at home or do they only have a mobile device (tablet or mobile phone)? Do they have fast, reliable internet at home or are they on a slower connection or data plan? This information will help you as you plan for which tools and workflows will work best for your course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Documents and Readings<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Easily link to existing content or upload documents directly into your myLesley course.
