Technical Tips

  • Browsers:
    • Preferred web browsers for GeorgiaVIEW are the latest versions of Firefox and Google Chrome. Edge is supported. Internet Explorer not recommended and not supported. 
  • Clear your web browser cache and cookies regularly, especially before starting quizzes
  • For best results, especially when submitting assignments and quizzes, use a fast, reliable, hard-wired Internet connection.
  • System Check

Course Work

  • Compose assignments using software such as Microsoft Word, then copy and paste the text or attach the document to the assignment. If you attempt to write a lengthy paper within the Dropbox tool you may time out and lose your work. Lost compositions are NOT recoverable.
  • To minimize issues while taking a quiz, be sure that you do the following:
    • Clear your browser's cache and cookies before starting a quiz
    • Close any applications that are not necessary for taking your quiz
    • Open only one browser window or session when taking a quiz
    • Complete the quiz in a timely manner to avoid timing out. Submit your work well before deadlines
    • Save each quiz response as you answer it
    • Do not try to save all responses individually at the end of the quiz. Saving too many responses at once may cause your quiz to freeze and fail to save the responses.
