Computer and Web Browser Setup

Google Chrome is preferred, but Internet Explorer and most other web browsers will work.
Tablets and smart phones have limited functionality and may not be suitable for certain courses.
You may need the most recent versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash (available for free) for your browser in order to record video and audio directly in Canvas
Most Windows or Mac-based computer systems are acceptable. Most public PCs are setup to be fully functional to access LBC's courses.
If you are not using Google Chrome, these standard plug-ins are needed for LBC courses:
- Adobe Reader (download at http://get.adobe.com/reader/ )
- Adobe Flash Player (download at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ )
Audio: any form of audio output through speakers or headphones will work well

I have verified the configurations above. I am ready to start using Canvas*

Yes No
