Technical

Browsers:

• Preferred web browsers for GeorgiaVIEW/GoVIEW are Google Chrome and Firefox - the latest versions, as well as Microsoft Edge.
  • For Mac computers, latest version of Apple Safari
  • Internet Explorer (IE) is not supported by D2L anymore. 

• Learn about System and Software Requirements
• Do it yourself and recommend your students to clear their web browser cache and cookies regularly, especially before starting quizzes. It’s a good practice to clear browser cache and cookies often to avoid GeorgiaVIEW/GoVIEW issues.

Course Work

• Recommend your students to compose assignments within Microsoft Word, then copy and paste the text or attach the document to the assignment. It will help them to avoid timing-out and losing their work. Lost compositions are NOT recoverable.
• To minimize issues while taking a quiz, ask your students to clear browser’s cache and cookies
