Every student will need to have access an IOLab device. Exceptions will be made for students located overseas where IOLab rentals are not available (though students studying abroad can still get a device though the UIUC bookstore if they have the means to do so).
For students located within the U.S., IOLab devices can be rented from the following website: https://store.macmillanlearning.com/us/product/iOLab-Version-2.0/p/1464101469.
(NOTE: Use the code SHIPFREE at checkout and the shipping will be free).
If you are located overseas and want to obtain an IOLab device anyway (which is encouraged though not required), you can purchase them through the U of I bookstore at:
https://bookstore.illinois.edu/buy_book_detail.asp?pf_id=15132185.
If you are buying or renting a device on-line you should do this as soon as possible since shipping can take 1-2 weeks.
If you have any problems with the Macmillan website or concerns about the delivery of your device you should go to https://macmillan.force.com/macmillanlearning/s/contactsupport and select I am Using: Student Store (i.e. do not select I am Using: IOLab, which will get you tech support for the device itself).
To run the IOLab software, students will need to have access to a computer running Windows 8.1 or above or a Mac running OSX 10.13 or above.
For online-only lab section: Zoom Link for your Lab Meeting.
