      What to do when lessons take longer to load or fail to load altogether?

      Troubleshooting guide for when lessons take longer to load or fail to load altogether:

      1. Ensure your computer/laptop meets the minimum system requirements.
        Smartphones and tablets are NOT supported

        Minimum Operating System Requirements: Processor 

        Intel Corei3 Processor or greater 

        Memory 

        4GB of RAM or greater 

        Video Card 

        Graphics card that supports WebGL 

        Operating System 

        Windows 8 or higher, OS X 10.6 or higher. Smart phones and Tablets (iOS/Android) NOT supported. 

        Internet Browser 

        Mozilla Firefox (primary), Google Chrome 
      2. Close other open tabs in your browser. Never have a lesson open in two windows at the same time to avoid grade sync errors.
      3. Close applications, especially ones that stream video or other data (e.g. Steam, Skype, Spotify, and VLC/Netflix/YouTube).
      4. Clear your browser cache and cookies. Often browsers store info (cache) that speeds up future load times but can slow down your current performance.
      5. If you have AdBlocker installed in your browser, disable it.
      6. Disable any other browser extensions as they can interfere with page loading.
      7. Ensure WebGL is enabled on your browser. Instructions can be found on our System Requirements page.
