I've been working online now for just over a year, so I would like to think I've learned a thing or six.
My set up priorities are:
1. Stable internet connection
2. Stable backup internet connection
3. Decent camera?????? Decent computer???????
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
3. A very good chair. As I don't work in an air conditioned office, instead of a gaming chair, I got a mesh backed "executive" chair similar to this one for about $200USD.
It's changed my life.......
4. Decent noise cancelling headset
My set up....
CPU - Dell i3-7gen, 4gb, 1tb drive
Monitor - 24" Samsung (It's honestly a bit big)
Camera - Logitech C310 (720P)
Headset - Logitech H390 (very nice noise cancelling mic, my wife can watch tv while I'm teaching)
Tablet - Samsung 10.1 - I use this to keep my copy of the textbooks on, with my teaching notes.
Upgrades - I want to ditch the headset and get a nice microphone, but nice microphones are fooking expensive and to be honest don't know enough about setting up a mic with monitors.
I'm also thinking of getting a 1080P camera but I'm concerned that the higher the resolution, the higher the bandwidth needed to send/receive it and at times that's an issue with myself and my students.
What's your setup?
