Mobile Devices and Third-Party Curriculum

Although we regularly test our education management system, many mobile devices may not be fully compatible with third-party curriculum platforms that are accessed through Pearson Online Classroom. These include: Chromebook, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle, and Android phones & tablets.

Connectivity

Broadband connection is required.
Use the chart on the FCC Household Broadband Guide to assist in selecting the appropriate speed
- For one student, a minimum download speed of 8Mbps should be requested from your ISP.
- For two or more students, a minimum download speed of 25Mbps should be requested from your ISP.
NOTE: As you add more users/devices (e.g., computers, gaming consoles, streaming devices, etc.) the need for bandwidth increases. Therefore, if you use multiple devices, you should request a minimum download speed of 25Mbps.
NOTE: If you have a satellite connection, you may experience performance issues depending on outside weather conditions and latency.
You can test your current Internet speeds at http://www.speedtest.net
Speeds less than those noted above may result in a less than optimum user experience
