Canvas System Requirements
The hardware requirements for Canvas are driven by browser requirements. Canvas always supports the current and first previous major release. Any computer at a minimum should support one of these browser versions:
- Chrome 83 and 84
- Firefox 77 and 78
- Edge 83 and 84
- Safari 12 and 13 (Macintosh only)
Any computer produced in the last decade can run these browsers. Chrome is our preferred browser. It requires Windows 7 or later or OS X 10.10. PCs and Macs produced after 2009 support these versions. Many computers produced before 2009 will also support it.
Another method, but not as ideal as a full computer, is an iPad or Android tablet. Both platforms have access to the Canvas app in their respective stores. There a just a couple of courses that have Flash animations in them now. Students won’t be able to see those animations on a tablet. Students will see text in place of the animations, so it won’t stop them from working.
Students will need audio to observe live instruction. A camera and microphone will be required if they are going to respond via video. Chat responses are an option for response. While a camera and microphone are preferable, lack of one will not prevent a student from engaging in live instruction.

Canvas Support: Canvas for Math Instructors
The Instructional Design team launched their first Ready-Made Template in September 2018 to "help reduce stress load, encourage growth, and help course creators design an engaging Canvas experience by turning a blank course shell into a fill-in-the-blank Canvas course." It’s been a tremendous success and users across the board have loved this addition to the Instructional Design services. Templates are intentionally designed to incorporate best practices (aligning with principles from the Course Evaluation Checklist v2.0) and are easy to use. To learn more about Ready-Made Templates, join us for this session.
