Example devices listed above have been tested by Edgenuity. Other devices not listed may be used providing they meet the minimum requirements.
Bandwidth Because Edgenuity courses run on a web-based platform (as opposed to stand-alone apps), a minimum of 256 kbps per concurrent user on school Wi-Fi with an Edgenuity Media Appliance is recommended.
Without access to an Edgenuity Media Appliance, a standard 3G connection or 1.5 Mbps per concurrent user is recommended. Course Compatibility Edgenuity’s curriculum suite includes some courses and components originally published by other companies. As a result, some courses are not tablet-compatible. Some third-party activities in Edgenuity courses rely upon Adobe® Flash®, Adobe Shockwave®, and Java®, making these courses only partially tablet-compatible. The following section indicates which Edgenuity courses are tablet-compatible. Feature Compatibility Secure Station, the Edgenuity feature that allows administrators to limit user access to certain computers, will not run on tablets. In addition, the Edgenuity highlighter feature is not tablet-compatible.
