Question:

I'm having issues downloading the reading packet. What can I use to retrieve the files?

 

Answer:

Some computer operating systems will require you to download an unzipping software to aid you in downloading the file. Students using a Windows Operating System may encounter some issues unzipping. We suggest students use the free software, Unzipper. After downloading the unzipping software, click on the reading file to download. Instructions and the link to Unzipper can be found in the syllabus and in the reading module of your course.

The "Course Reading Packet" header from an SIA Online course containing the Unzipper link to a free tool to unzip files.

On the "Syllabus" page of each Canvas course, you'll be able to find a message like the one shown with information about the course reading packet.

In addition to the articles listed in the Course Reading Packet, you will find optional reading recommendations in each of the modules.
