Many students successfully use systems such as the Mac to study with the University. However, at present, they accept responsibility for their own support. If you decide to use a system other than a Windows-based PC, you may have problems accessing the software and data files supplied with course materials. The technical help offered by the OU Computing Helpdesk will be limited, so you should make sure that you have some other form of support in case you run into difficulties.
For additional information on using other operating systems please check the computing specification for your course, which you will find in the course description.
