Technology Requirements

Students entering Lakeview College of Nursing are required to have a personal laptop computer configured to the college’s specifications (Microsoft Office, webcam for video conferencing, video assignments, and testing, plus internal and external audio capabilities). This requirement responds to technical changes in the computerized testing platform and the widespread adoption of computer technology in health care. Specifications are outlined on the College website here.

Testing Learning Management Software (LMS)

Edvance360 is the learning management software used by all nursing courses. Lectures, PowerPoint slides, tests, discussion forum questions, grades, and assignments will be posted on Lakeview College of Nursing Edvance360. The minimum requirements for this LMS are an up to date internet browser with Javascript enabled, and the latest Adobe Reader to open pdfs.

Please note that there are scheduled maintenance times for Edvance360. It is essential that students are aware of those times and makes sure work in progress is saved (e.g., tests, assignments, posts to journal, wikis or discussion boards) before the systems are shut down for maintenance. Any work in progress will be lost when the servers go down for maintenance. Miranda Shake, Lakeview Library Director, will notify students about scheduled maintenance.
