General Requirements
Find the most up-to-date technical requirements on the Canvas Guides for Basic Computer Specifications.
For the most trouble-free experience with Canvas and the online tools used at Sussex, Mozilla Firefox is recommended. However, Canvas does support the browsers shown on the site below.
Browser Requirements
Mobile
The Canvas interface has been optimized for desktop displays, so using a mobile device for actual coursework may not work well. Canvas is not officially supported on mobile browsers. For an improved experience, there are free Canvas apps for download described on the site linked below, however, it is important to note that the mobile apps do not provide full functionality or the security that you would get with a laptop or desktop computer.
Find out which browsers Canvas supports.
Software
Other than a web browser, the minimum software you will typically need is word processing software. The standard word processor used by Sussex is Microsoft Word.
