Moodle Computer Requirements

Please review the following computer requirements to ensure that your computer is capable of running Moodle. The greatest single factor for a positive Moodle experience is the use of a high-speed or broadband internet connection.

Internet Access

  • Broadband or high-speed internet access is strongly recommended. Broadband includes DSL, cable, and wireless connections.
  • Dial-Up internet connections will result in a diminished online experience. Moodle pages may load slowly and viewing large audio and video files may not be possible.

Hardware

  • Virtually all Windows-Mac-Linux hardware configurations and processors are acceptable.
  • 1 GB RAM recommended

Software

  • Operating Systems
    • Windows XP or Vista and Mac OS X 10 and higher, most Linux distributions

  • Web Browsers
    • Mozilla Firefox 2 and 3 (previous versions will work also)
    • Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
    • Safari is not currently recommended as it cannot display certain Moodle editing menus for both students and instructors

  • Media Plug-ins (These may be required depending on your course media-click on the links below to download the latest versions)
    • Adobe Flash Player
    • Adobe Acrobat Reader
    • Apple Quicktime
    • Windows Media Player
