Compatible Systems and Devices

Legends of Learning is designed to be accessible across a wide range of devices, ensuring flexibility for diverse learning environments. Below are the systems and devices that are compatible:

• Laptops and Desktops: Nearly all Windows and Mac OS based laptops and desktops are compatible. This broad compatibility ensures that most standard computers in schools and homes can run Legends of Learning effectively.

• Standard Browsers: The platform supports most standard browsers, including Microsoft Edge. However, for the best user experience, Chrome is the preferred browser. It’s important to note that Safari is NOT compatible with Awakening and Math Basecamp.

• Chromebooks: Chromebooks are compatible, provided they meet minimum specifications. A minimum of 4GB RAM and an Intel Celeron or Core processor are required to ensure smooth gameplay and performance. Chromebooks with MediaTek or other processors (that are not Intel Celeron or Core) are not supported.

• iPad Compatibility:

  • Learning Universe: Accessible on iPad 6th Generation (released in 2018) or newer, and iPad Pro models.
  • Math Basecamp and Awakening: These are accessible via the “Legends of Learning: Awakening” app. Students must download this app from the iOS App Store to access Math Basecamp or Awakening on their iPads.

• Kindle and Kindle Fire: These devices are not supported at this time.

• iPhones (without the app): Similar to Android devices, iPhones are not compatible through a browser unless the Legends of Learning app is utilized.

• Older iPads: iPad Air 2 and older models (including iPad 1, 2, 3, 4, Air, and mini) do not meet the necessary technical specifications for optimal performance.

• Devices with Insufficient RAM: Any device with less than 2GB of internal memory (RAM) is not compatible, as it lacks the processing power to run the platform effectively.
