Classworks supports the following browsers:

  • Chrome

  • Internet Explorer

  • Firefox

  • Safari


We support the current and previous major releases of Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari on a rolling basis.

We recommend the latest version of Google Chrome (which automatically updates whenever it detects that a new version of the browser is available).

  • Android using the Chrome browser

  • iPad with the latest iOS

Browser settings

  • All browser settings must have cookies and JavaScript enabled to use Classworks.

  • Minimum resolution is 1024x768.

  • Tablets with a screen size less than 9.5 inches, e-readers, and smartphones are not supported at this time.

Virtual environments

Virtual Environments like Citrix, VMware, and nComputing may not fully support all of the functionality in Classworks for all types of configurations. For the best experience, use the browsers on your local computer or contact your virtual environment retailer to ensure your hardware meets the needed requirements for a rich multimedia web application.
