Minimum Specs:
• i3 CPU (later generation)
• 6 GB RAM
• Operating System: 64bit
• Download Speed: 5 mbps
• A browser that supports HTML5 video (Chrome 4.0, IE 9, Firefox 3.5, Safari 4.0, Opera 10.5). These versions will allow playback of videos, but some functionality and style of the application may be limited.

Recommended Specs:
• Download Speed: 10mbps
• Recommended Browsers: Latest version of Chrome, Latest version of Safari, Latest version of Firefox, Internet Explorer 10, or Microsoft Edge

Note: Chrome and Firefox should be on automatic updates now, so the vast majority of people will be on the latest if they are using those browsers. Safari and Edge will update when the operating systems on those computers update.

Note on Multitasking
It's also important to note that the more tabs, windows and/or programs that a user has open, the more video playback will slow down if their device is closer to the minimum specs. The same goes for download speed. If other people on the same network are doing things such as watching Netflix or streaming music, that may slow down playback of videos.

Note on Mobile Compatibility
This website will only work on landscape view of a mobile phone.

They can do that as follows: To extend a user's access to a module under "User Management" select "User Progress" then next to the user's name select "View Progress." You can then see the date that the module expired on and choose a new expiry date. The user can then access the module by signing into their account, going to their "Active Modules" folder, selecting the type of module, and then selecting "Continue Module."
