If your system can run those platforms effectively, it will also support AA. ### **1. Internet Connectivity** •**Broadband Internet Required**: A stable, high-speed internet connection is essential. While Canvas recommends a minimum of **512 kbps**, faster and more reliable connections (such as cable or DSL) are strongly advised for optimal performance—particularly during assessments or media-heavy usage.  ### **2. System Compatibility/Minimum Requirements** •**Cross-Platform Support**: Any system capable of running a modern LMS like Canvas or D2L should be fully compatible with AA. This includes: •**Supported Operating Systems**: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS—*as long as you can run a supported web browser.*  #### **Hardware Specs**: | **Component** | **Minimum for Basic Use** | **Recommended for Smoother / Heavy Use** | | --- | --- | --- | | RAM | 1 GB (2 GB preferred) | 4 GB+ especially for heavy content or during timed/complex assessments | | Processor | Modern CPU (e.g., Intel i3 or equivalent) | Faster multi-core CPUs help under heavier load | | Display | Minimum resolution of ~1024 × 600 pixels | Higher resolution for better layout, readability, especially on desktops |   **Browser Requirements**: •Use the **current or previous major versions** of modern browsers: **Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge**, or **Safari** (note: Safari support is limited on some platforms)  **Essential Browser Settings**: •JavaScript enabled •Cookies (and, when needed, third-party cookies) enabled •Pop-up blockers disabled or exceptions set for relevant domains  #### **Mobile Devices**: •AA is optimized for both desktop and mobile. Access is possible via a mobile browser.   - [Atomic Jolt Customer FAQs](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-jolt-customer-faqs?hsLang=en) - [Atomic Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#release-notes) - [Authoring Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#authoring-assessments) - [For Nursing](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#for-nursing) - [Content Management](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#content-management) - [Question Types](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#question-types) - [Grading & Feedback](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#grading-feedback) - [Reports](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#reports) - [Import and Export](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#import-and-export) - [Advanced Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#advanced-features) - [Proctoring](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#proctoring) - [Installation Guides](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#installation-guides) - [FAQ for Atomic Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#faq-for-atomic-assessments) - [Adaptive Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#adaptive-assessments) - [Learning Standards](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#learning-standards) - [Brightspace](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#brightspace) - [Canvas](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#canvas) - [Publishers](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#publishers) - [Admin Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#admin-features) - [Atomic Search](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQs](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Using Search](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#using-search) - [Admin Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#admin-features) - [Content Indexing](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#content-indexing) - [Reports & Analytics](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#reports-analytics) - [Brightspace Support](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#brightspace-support) - [Canvas Support](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#canvas-support) - [Atomic Journals](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Atomic Polls](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Course Copy](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#course-copy) - [Atomic Discussions](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Atomic Author](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-author?hsLang=en) - [Atomic Socialize](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-socialize?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-socialize?hsLang=en#release-notes) - [Atomic Curriculum Analysis Tool](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-curriculum-analysis-tool?hsLang=en) [![Atomic Jolt Logo Horiz Small](https://support.atomicjolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Atomic%20Jolt%20Logo%20Horiz%20Small.png?width=164&height=60&name=Atomic%20Jolt%20Logo%20Horiz%20Small.png "Atomic Jolt Logo Horiz Small")](https://www.atomicjolt.com) Copyright © 2025, Atomic Jolt
