Browser Requirements

Our efforts so far have not been focused on making this prototype operational on all modern web browsers. Instead, we tried to provide select features in enough details so as to convey their potential benefits & a visual feel of how they will be made available to students.

However, we made sure to use portable libraries such as JQuery, JQueryUI & related plugins in order to gain cross-browser compatibility without adding to the development effort. This allowed us to guarantee the prototype to operate on the following browsers. Older browsers, while potentially suported, have not been tested.

  • Firefox version 12 or higher
  • Internet Explorer version 9 or above
  • Google Chrome version 14 or above

Please make sure to access the prototype using one of these browser or their portable apps equivalent.

The following are papers summarizing the preliminary results obtaing by our team prior to the formalization of the SUSHI project
