LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WEB BROWSER FAQ

Share this page

Why can't I use Internet Explorer to access GFOA's Learning Management System?

The Learning Management System takes advantage of modern developments in web
design and standards that Internet Explorer does not support. GFOA did not
exclude it by choice.

Internet Explorer has been deemed "end of life" by Microsoft. Microsoft ended
technical support and security updates for the program in January of 2020. This
means that Microsoft is no longer supporting or updating the program to combat
threats online rendering it unsafe to use on the internet.

In addition to being out-of-date and insecure, Internet Explorer is also not
standards compliant. Webpages display differently using Internet Explorer versus
a standards compliant browser which often breaks functionality. This is one of
the reasons why IE cannot be used to view GFOA's Learning Management System.

Just last year, Microsoft themselves published an article entitled "The perils
of using Internet Explorer as your default browser" advocating transitioning
away from IE.

Am I currently using Internet Explorer?

You can check which browser you're using at https://www.whatismybrowser.com/

After the above website loads, the top bar will display which internet browser
and operating system you're currently using.

What browser should I use instead?

Any number of up-to-date, standards compliant browsers are supported to access
the GFOA LMS and will also give you a safer, faster, more secure experience
across the entire internet.

Popular options include, but are not limited to:

 * Apple Safari
 * Google Chrome
 * Microsoft Edge
 * Mozilla Firefox
 * Opera
 * Vivaldi

Your IT department should be able to walk you through downloading and installing
any of the above browsers.

After you've gotten your new browser installed, you can access GFOA's Learning
Management System with these step-by-step instructions.
