Online Student Computer Software Requirements

Blog---Computer-Software

In order for your student to use Ignitia, our online curriculum platform, you will need to have a computer with current software installed. The good news is that this is relatively simple, even for those who are not technically savvy. Our team has listed the requirements below to make this an easy process.

Computer

If you need to purchase a computer or want to ensure that your current computer will work with Ignitia, the online curriculum used by students in grades 3–12, then read our article, “Buying the Right Computer for an Online Private School Student”.

While students can use multiple devices to access Ignitia, it is recommended that students use a laptop or desktop computer if available to them.

Operating System

Operating systems that work with Ignitia:

  • Windows
  • Macintosh
  • Linux

The most recent versions of each operating system should work with Ignitia

Browser

There are many internet browsers, but not all are made equal (or updated regularly). You can read Enlightium’s article, “Which Browser Works Best for Online Schooling?” for more details, but the summary of the article is that it is best to use Chrome or Firefox when logging into Ignitia.

Javascript

Javascript should be enabled. If not, courses may not render correctly. Please review Java’s webpage to learn more about Java. For directions on how to enable Javascript, read this article.
