Mobile Devices

Q. Can I use a smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device?

A: In many cases, yes, and you do not need a special D2L (Brightspace) app. Brightspace is designed to work well in web browsers on tablet and mobile devices.

However, some materials and resources within courses may work better, or only, on desktop or laptop computers. Additionally, for time- and grade-critical activities, we recommend you use a supported desktop web browser and a reliable Internet connection. We strongly recommend that you use a supported browser for critical class activities such as quizzes. Depending upon the design of a particular quiz, you may not be permitted to re-enter or retry the quiz should you discover problems with your non-supported browser after beginning your attempt.
