Technical Requirements for Moodle Courses
Internet Browser Settings
The recommended browser for Moodle is Firefox.
Moodle is compatible with other modern web browsers including Internet Explorer (v7 or higher may require compatibility mode), Safari and Google Chrome. You may not be able to access all of Moodles features in every browser.
Please add "https://svcc.mrooms3.net/" to the list of exceptions for any pop-up blocking software you may have installed on your computer or pop-up blocking features that you may have enabled in your browser while using Moodle. Please note that some additional browser toolbars that you may have installed can also act as pop-up blockers. These could include the Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, MSN Toolbar and more. Please check to see if your browser has any of these, or other toolbars that may block pop-ups, installed and disable their pop-up blocking feature while using Moodle.
If you are experiencing problems viewing the Moodle site or its content please ensure that your browser is configured as listed below:
