It is essential that you have these elements installed for optimal viewing of the content and functions of your online course.
  
  Before you begin your course, check that these elements and other settings for your web browser are configured correctly using the Browser Checker tool. Link to the Technical Support pages for information on computer requirements, browser configuration, necessary downloads, and a list of frequently asked questions.
