In General

Some browsers are updated more rapidly, and a newly-released version of any browser may not be compatible with our platforms.  If you recently updated your main browser, try reverting to the previous version of that browser or use a different browser.
 

Here are the system requirements for our various platforms:

Flash Player is required (http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/).

  • Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 9+.

The following browsers are also supported:

  • Chrome, Firefox 5.0+, Safari 5+, Internet Explorer 8 (semi-supported, some visual features are missing from this browser).
     

Ning (selected Course Community Websites)

Ning works well with these browsers:

  • Firefox 5 and 6
  • Google Chrome
  • Internet Explorer 8 and 9
