Technical Requirements/Minimum System Requirements

Combining the capabilities of industry leaders Wimba and Elluminate, Blackboard Collaborate provides a comprehensive learning platform designed specifically for education. It is helping thousands of higher education, K-12, professional, corporate, and government organizations worldwide deliver a more effective learning experience through online, blended, and mobile learning.

System Requirements: Test your system to see if it meets the requirements.

Sloan-C uses an open-source LMS called Moodle for the asynchronous component of workshops. Moodle provides a flexible and user-friendly set of asynchronous collaboration and learning tools. As with most open-source technologies, the Moodle software is free, making it a very cost-effective software package for any institution or company, without sacrificing quality. Moodle is a robust environment that is dynamic, interactive, and provides cross-platform learner access through a standard web browser.

System Requirements: Moodle will work in any modern web browser, however, moodle works best in a range of specific browser types (see below).

Recommended Browsers	Other Browsers (these will work, but they do not support the WYSIWYG HTML editor)
Recent versions of: Internet Explorer (v5.5 or later) Firefox (all versions) Mozilla (v1.7 or later) SeaMonkey (all versions) Netscape (v7 or later)	Any versions of: Opera Safari Camino
