The Internet browser is an important factor in making sure that your online course works adequately during the semester. Canvas supports the last two versions of every browser release; however, we highly recommend that you update your browser's flash plug-ins and to update often your computer's browser to the latest version. To avoid technical issues, we would like to recommend that you use either Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari.
