IT Checklist
Start Strong: Prepare Your Tech for Everfi Courses
Prep Your Infrastructure
Everfi courses run online and rely on your organization’s digital network. While issues are rare, following these tips will help prevent technical problems:
- Review Minimum System Requirements
Before launching Everfi courses, confirm your network and systems meet our Minimum System Requirements. -
Include Your IT Team
Share this document with your IT staff to ensure proper setup. -
Update Your Browsers
Use Chrome whenever possible. We support the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and laptop. -
Enable Cookies and JavaScript
These must be turned on for courses to function correctly. -
Check Network Filters and Privacy Settings
Make sure Everfi sites aren’t blocked. See our Server and Domain Allow List for details. -
Verify Network Speed
Bandwidth issues are the most common cause of problems. We recommend at least 1 Mbps per user. Test your speed at http://www.speedtest.net during business hours.- For groups: If your download speed is 25 Mbps or higher, you should be fine for 25 learners on the same network.
-
Review QoS Settings
If your network prioritizes certain traffic types, it may limit bandwidth for courses. -
Single Sign-On (SSO)
If you’re using SAML SSO between Foundry and your identity management system, review the SAML Single Sign-On System Requirements.
Test Before Launch
Always test Everfi courses on your network before rollout:
- Log in, accept an invite, and complete part of a course from a learner’s device.
- Check system requirements. Device age and software versions can affect performance. We cannot guarantee compatibility with every model, so testing is essential.
Devices
-
Headphones
Courses include audio. Consider providing headphones for each learner. -
Tablets and Mobile
Courses generally work on tablets, but some mobile devices or browsers may not display content correctly.
Learn from Past Experiences
If you’ve used other online training programs, apply lessons learned to your Everfi implementation.
