Prerequisites

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Browser

SMARTT only works with Internet Explorer, although it doesn't yet work well with the latest versions Internet Explorer version 10 and IE 11.  (If you have IE 10 or IE 11, See Below) It is suggested that you use IE for this course also. Other browsers may work, but you may run into some issues, especially with videos.

*If your browser is IE10, please follow the directions below:

Start Internet Explorer. Click on the Function Key F12. That will bring up a pop up menu from the bottom of your screen. You need to click on the tab that says Browser Mode and check off Internet Explorer 9. Then close the window with the X on the right side of it and you should be all set.

For IE 11

IE 11 seems to not be able to properly detect if a website requires compatibility mode or not. So before, when you needed to manually do it, you could just press the Tool icon at the top right and click compatibility mode from there and just add your site to the list. Now in order for that to show up, you need to press Alt, or right click IE anywhere on the top bar and click Menu. After you do either of those, click tools and look for Compatibility Mode Settings, then you can manually enter the site that is not working correctly and it should fix the problems for the sites that broke with this release.

Monitor Resolution

 

A monitor resolution of 1024 x 768 or greater is required. SMARTT screens are designed for monitors with at least a minimum of this resolution.
