SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR EACH PC:

• Adobe InDesign CC or later (for Windows or Mac)
• Windows 7 or later, or Mac OS X 10.7 or later
• At least 3 GB of RAM; 4GB or more recommended
• A recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari web browser
• For classes delivered online, all participants need either dual monitors or a separate device logged into the online session so that they can do their work on one screen and watch the instructor on the other.
