We recommend the Google Chrome browser Links to an external site.for Canvas. Microsoft Explorer causes known issues in Canvas. Also be sure to check in the URL bar at the top of the screen to be sure the browser is not blocking external scripts. These may be labeled unsafe but only because they are external to Canvas.
