Recommended Browsers for Tablets and Mobile Devices

If a student needs to use a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet, SUNY Online Support Services recommends the use of Brightspace's Pulse app: https://apps.brightspace.com/pulse/launch. While some browsers are technically supported by Brightspace when using a mobile device, use of the Brightspace Pulse app will provide the best user experience on a mobile device. Please note that, in general, SUNY Online Support Services recommends using a supported laptop or desktop computer along with a recommended browser for the best overall experience with Brightspace.
