I'm seeking the most current (Sept. 2025) specifications to share with students: a PDF or link we can share with our partner universities and students will be ideal. Thanks.
Hello! Students should make sure to be using a supported browser in whatever device they choose, in order to have the best experience possible. Here is a list of supported browsers: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5663-browser-support Hope this helps!
I was expecting something that includes more specifics regarding computer or operating system specifications, but my perception may be outdated. That information may no longer be pertinent.
I previously saw the same information on browsers. Is that all that is necessary because the D2L software is web based?
Thank you in advance for your response!
Hello,
You're absolutely right! Since Brightspace is a web-based platform, you only need a device with a stable internet connection and an up-to-date web browser to access it.
However, if you plan to use the Brightspace Pulse app, you will need to meet certain device specifications. The app must be downloaded and installed on a compatible device. You may view the required device specifications for the app here. 😊
Kind Regards,
Mian
