      Atomic Assessments System Requirements

      To ensure smooth functionality, Atomic Assessments shares system requirements similar to major Learning Management Systems (such as Canvas and D2L). 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

      •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:

      •A computer no more than ~5 years old

      •At least 1 GB of RAM (some sources recommend 2 GB for smoother performance) 

      •For more demanding tasks or exam environments, a modern processor (e.g., Intel Core i3 or equivalent) and higher RAM (e.g., 4 GB) may be preferred 

      •Minimum display resolution of at least 1024 × 600 pixels 

      •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.

      Minimum Requirements:

      Internet Connection Broadband (min. 512 kbps), preferably wired or high-speed for reliability

      Computer 5 years old or newer; ≥ 1–2 GB RAM; modern processor (e.g., Intel i3 or equivalent); ≥ 1024 × 600 display

      Operating System Any that can run modern browsers (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS)

      Browser Latest or just-prior major versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari

      Browser Settings JavaScript & cookies enabled; pop-ups allowed or exempted for AA domains

      Mobile Access Desktop preferred; mobile apps/browsers usable with limited support; tablets may experience restrictions
