University of Victoria BC, Canada to Etheopia - issues/problems?

Moodle at the University of Victoria, British Columubia, Canada is about to embark on an exciting project. The Moodle instance is housed at the University (1.9.2+) and will be having students from Etheopia logging in through dial-up connections to access their online course.

I am hoping others have had similar projects and can let me know of issues/problems that may be encountered and solutions to them.

1. Dial-up, how does Moodle handle it?

2. What about course content/structure/activities to be avoided within Moodle?

3. Minimum computer requirements for Etheopian students using Moodle? (Students will be using lap-tops) 

4. Other things to be aware of???

Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.  FYI: I am part of the Moodle Support team at the university.

Hi Visvanath

It seems to be an appropriate post as Sue is asking for info/advice about hardware and this is within the remit of this forum. Hopefully, someone can help who has had experiences with performance in low bandwidth situations thoughtful.
