Technology Requirements

Because Canvas is built using web standards, it runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, or any other device with a modern web browser. Canvas supports the last two versions of every browser release. We highly recommend updating to the newest version of whatever browser you are using as well as the most up-to-date plug-ins. You can find that information here: Canvas Computer Specifications and links to the latest Browser versions.
