Said I'd walk towards the college and down towards Cissie Young's and Galvin's before heading home tonight just to have a look. Considering it's still early enough, lot of students about, few parties, was a lot of people outside Cissie Young's. Did see some Garda presence alright and a group of students were getting fecked out of it by a Garda at the Lough.

I've a mobile home in rural Kerry and I can get 4g on my mobile there and it's fine to stream video. Am I going to be watching Netflix in 4k or downloading playstation games, nope, but it's more than usable for basic video streaming.

titan18 wrote: » All of that is doable on a mobile connection tbf. Files wouldn't be that large that they're uploading either tbf. Might only have been 10 years ago but for me but essays were a few 1000 words like. I can understand in some courses, like I did BIS, so there was a large portion of lab work in the course that I don't see how they can do at home (later years probably be fine but not 1st or 2nd year). A lot of courses don't have any lab work and could be done fully online and not need a very fast internet connection imo. Not sure why anyone bar the lecturer needs a webcam either. I've done online learning before (non college but professional certs) and it's generally some instructor going through a bunch of material and giving some tests to do. You might need to answer questions, but most had two options to so that (either voice or could type the text in and send) and didn't need video on your side
