Guildhall School - Before you Leave Home Handbook 2020

Online learning
Some teaching will be offered online
during 2020/21 to reduce student and staff
numbers in the building and maximise space
available for practical activities with social
distancing measures in place. You will need a
laptop or PC with webcam to optimise your
engagement with this online content. If
you have any difficulties please contact your
programme leader as soon as possible.
Induction
Induction sessions will be offered to ensure
you are familiar with all the mechanisms
for on-line delivery, including Moodle (an
online teaching platform), Zoom, MS Teams,
and Guildhall Stream.
Equipment
Students studying Electronic Music,
Composition, Theatre Technology and Video
Design in Live Performance will have been
given specific advice on the hardware that
they will need.
For all other students, if you do not already
have a laptop and are thinking of purchasing
a laptop, the following minimum
specification is recommended:
– Laptop with Win 10 above (or Mac
equivalent)
– 2.4ghz duel-core CPU
– 8Gb ram
– 128Gb storage
– 720p webcam
– Internal microphone
A HP ProBook 360 G6 or a HP 14-dk0020na
have this specification for instance.
Good quality headphones are also
recommended.
