What do I need to use Lessonspace?

The only things  needed to have an online lesson with Lessonspace are:

• A laptop or desktop computer with a microphone (internal or external), a webcam (recommended), tablet or smartphone. Ideally with at least 4GB of RAM.
• A reliable internet connection. Ideally of at least 5Mb/s download and 3Mb/s upload. Test your internet speed here.
• The latest version of a modern web browser (we recommend Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).

The general rule of thumb is, if you are able to use your set-up to have a Zoom or Skype call, Lessonspace will work. Below are some basic equipment recommendations on how to further improve your online teaching experience.

• Optional Extras:
  • Drawing tools - touch screen laptop, stylus, drawing tablet, see all your options here.
  • Webcam - not strictly required for a Lessonspace session because all the action takes place on the Whiteboard, Document tab, PDF uploads, but if you do want to be able to see each other, you'll need a webcam.
  • Earphones - we recommend using earphones with a microphone to prevent echoing and filter outside noise. (You can also turn on our Advanced Noise Cancellation!)
