Operating system and browsers

Note: You should always make sure your computer has the latest available operating system and browser patches. Running without the latest patches may prevent IXL features from working properly.

Hardware

We recommend you have at least 256MB of installed RAM, and you should set your display to a resolution of 1024x768 with 32-bit color depth.

To use the audio feature that allows you to hear the text of math problems and their answers, you need to have a sound card installed in your computer and either speakers or a headphone jack and headphones. Note that the audio feature is designed to assist younger users practicing math at the pre-K, kindergarten, and first-grade levels.

Internet connection

To use IXL, your computer must be connected to the Internet. You can connect via a proxy device, however the proxy device must obey the HTTP/1.1 protocol, including all caching and anti-caching directives. We recommend a connection speed of at least 128Kbps.

Additional software

For some features in IXL, such as the reports, you'll need additional software, which is probably already installed on your computer. If not, you can download these products free of charge.

You'll need the following:

• Adobe Flash Player. You can download this at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
