Canvas & Internet Explorer – the old relationship ends May 24, 2014

ie 11 logoAs an Internet Explorer user, you’ve struggled with degraded service and annoying messages on your browser when logging in to Canvas…well, that time has come. Time to pick: depart ways or upgrade to IE 10 or 11!

Starting on May 24, 2014, users who attempt to log in to Canvas using any version of Internet Explorer older than IE9 (e.g. IE6, IE7, or IE8) will not be able to gain access. Instead, they’ll see a message prompting them to use a newer browser and linking to the Canvas Guides article on supported browsers (http://goo.gl/4ZvUB).

Users who use IE9 to access Canvas after May 24 will continue to see a warning message in an orange bar across the top of the browser when they log in, telling them their browser is no longer supported. You can dismiss the message for the duration of their current browser session but it will be back – so why bother? Upgrade to Internet Explorer 10 or 11 or use a different browser. It’s just time.

After all, we want the best user experience don’t we?
