- Armenian language support
For Eastern and Western Armenian courses, supplemental language support is needed for MS Windows XP, in order to display the Armenian characters.
Please perform the following steps to download and install the Armenian characters:
- Download the fonts and extract them into C:\Armenian_fonts.
- Go to the Control Panel-> Fonts.
- In the opened “Fonts” window click on File->Install new font and choose the folder where you extracted the downloaded fonts (C:\Armenian_fonts).
- Select fonts and press “OK”.
- Close all opened windows.
- Open Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Open “Languages” page and activate checkbox “Install files for complex script and right-left languages (including Thai)”. For MS Vista this is set by default.
- You will be prompted to insert Windows XP installation CD, without this the necessary files will not be copied correctly and Armenian language support will not be available. If you don’t have the mentioned CD please contact AVC IT support ITsupport@avc-agbu.org.
- Please Perform the following steps to activate the Armenian keyboard support.
To be able to type in Armenian you have to enable Armenian Keyboard support:
- Go to the Control Panel->Regional and Language-> Keyboards and Languages->Change keyboards.
- In “General” section find and press on “Add” button and select Armenian->Armenian Western or Armenian Eastern.
- Close all opened windows by clicking OK several times.

- Supplemental Tools for Homework Assignments:

- Videoconferencing
Videoconferencing is required for direct communication with Online Instructor and peers, as well as oral exams. The Online Instructor uses the ooVoo videoconferencing system and the students can connect to the video conference through their browsers. Students need to have Java installed and enabled on their computers in order to use web video calls and/or enter video conference rooms. When you install Java, it gets enabled automatically. To check whether you have Java installed please go to the Browser Check (on the bottom of the page). Then go to the Plug-ins paragraph, click on the link under the Java icon (right icon of the first row) and follow the instructions.
