I can’t access my course. What should I try next?
If you cannot access your course or if your course is occasionally interrupted, you may have a slow internet connection, outdated software, or a high browser security setting.
To resolve one or more of these issues, please do the following:
- Make sure you are using a strong connection. For example, an air card or dial-up connection usually is not fast enough to keep up with video streaming.
- Make sure you have the latest version of your browser of choice. We recommend Google Chrome (google.com/chrome/).
