Will my browser work with e-Learning in ESR?

The list of recommended versions of software are provided in the M-0100 document - these are only the supported versions. If your organisation has a problem with e-Learning, you will need to ensure the problem can be replicated on the supported versions of software as detailed in the M-0100 document.

ESR may work with other versions of software, but may not be supported. Below is a list of software tested to work with e-Learning in ESR.
