The LC OTA program utilizes web-enhanced courses and may at times offer an online course. A high-speed internet connection is suggested for best results with your Canvas LMS online coursework. The Internet browser is an important factor in making sure that your online course works adequately during the semester. Canvas supports the last two versions of every browser release; however, we highly recommend that you update your browser's flash plug-ins and to update often your computer's browser to the latest version. To avoid technical issues, we would like to recommend that you use either Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari.
