Browser
The recommended Web Browser to use with Etudes for
Mac users is Firefox. Firefox requires OSX.3 or higher.
Get Firefox here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
(look for English for the Mac)
Notes:
- Safari, Google Chrome, and Camino are not supported browsers for
the Mac. Safari works fairly well for viewing materials, but you won't
be able to use the editor in discussions, assignments, etc. Also, some
users have reported issues when taking tests with Google Chrome.
- We do not
conduct Quality Assurance (QA) testing with Safari, Google Chrome, or
Camino and thus do not recommend these browsers. We do not
support them. For a reliable, trouble-free experience in your Etudes
courses, you MUST use Firefox! If you don't, you are taking a risk.
- Netscape, Opera, and any other browsers that are not listed here are not
recommended.
Instructions
for AOL and CompuServe Subscribers
AOL and CompuServe
(AOL/CS) software includes an integrated browser-like feature that does not
provide full access to the Internet. Students MUST minimize the AOL/CS Browser
once their Internet connection is established and open one of the supported
browsers. Do NOT attempt to use the AOL/CS versions of Netscape or Internet
Explorer.
You must download a separate, complete, independent version of Internet
Explorer or Netscape. This will alleviate frustration associated with known problems caused by the AOL/CS quasi-browser and its inherent inability
to access to a significant percent of the World Wide Web.
