It is highly recommended that students and instructors use the most current version of one of the web browsers listed in the above table to access Moodle. These browsers are free, and the determination of which to use is a matter of personal preference. Note that cookies must be enabled in the browser. Most browsers have cookies enabled by default. If you are unsure of whether your browser is configured properly, contact Technical Support for assistance.
Because most courses feature content created using Microsoft Office programs like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, it is highly recommended that students purchase these programs.
