Using webCampus Guide

webCampus System Requirements

Operating systems

Recommended: Windows 7, 8, or 10, Mac OSX 10.7+

Mobile devices: At present, due to the marginal performance of the My Moodle app, we recommend that on a mobile device you login to webCampus using a normal web browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended). This is particularly important if you are completing an assessment or activity that has a grading component.

For DC Students only: See our Digital Device Requirements page on the UWS site.

Computer Requirements

RAM: 1 GB (minimum) / 2 GB or more (recommended)

Recommended CPU: Intel Core Duo / minimum – Pentium 4, 1.3 GHz

Peripherals:

For online programs, students need the following:

Either a built-in camera or a camera connected to your computer (needed for online proctored exams)
Microphone and speakers, or headset combination - the latter is recommended for best audio quality and noise reduction.

Internet speed

Use a broadband connection (256 Kbit/sec or faster) via cable, DSL, T1/T2, or USB wireless modem. This will ensure that you can view videos and online presentations. Dial-up access will be significantly slower and is not recommended.

Internet browsers

Please use recent versions of Mozilla Firefox (Windows, Mac), or Google Chrome (Windows, Mac).

Note:

Firefox is the recommended browser to use on Windows computers to access webCampus. Internet Explorer and Edge are not recommended.
Be aware that add-ons and toolbars can adversely affect a browser's performance.

Settings

We recommend that the following be enabled in your browser for webCampus:

Pop-ups (in both web browser and security software): If you leave pop-ups disabled, please add exceptions for https://webcampus.uws.edu. If you do not know how to do that, you can find instructions at this wikiHow page.
Cookies: If you disable cookies, please add the same exceptions in your browser security settings.

Plug-ins and Resources

We recommend that you update to the latest versions of the Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
