Recommended Browsers for myCourses

by Susan Peck -

You will notice after you have logged into myCourses there is a drop-down menu entitled "Recommended Browsers." The drop-down menu contains quick links to free downloads for Google Chrome or Firefox which are the preferred browser for myCourses (Moodle). Also a good idea to make sure you have the latest version of Google Chrome and/or Mozilla Firefox. Side Note: Google updates sometimes makes Google Chrome seem sluggish - Mozilla Firefox does not seem to have the same issue.

 

Please do not hesitate to place a COA Help Desk/Support Ticket at https://mysupport.albemarle.edu if you should have any questions or concerns regarding myCourses (Moodle). Choose 02 for STUDENTS and 30 for FACULTY/STAFF.

Have a great day!
