Every student will need to have access an IOLab device.
IOLab devices can be rented from the following website: https://store.macmillanlearning.com/us/product/iOLab-Version-2.0/p/1464101469.
Alternatively, 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. You can donwload the software at https://iolab.science/running-application.html and test it on your computer.
