Non-compatible Systems & Devices

Legends of Learning is not compatible with the following devices (non-exhaustive list):

  • Chromebooks using MediaTek (or other) processors that are not Intel Celeron or Core processors.

  • Legends of Learning Awakening and Math Basecamp are NOT compatible on Safari.

  • Android Tablets (unless the app is downloaded)

  • Kindle Fire

  • iPad Air 2 and below (includes iPad 1, 2, 3,4, Air, and mini)

  • Any device with less than 2GB of internal memory (RAM)

  • Amazon Fire tablets and Kindle Fire devices do not fully support Legends of Learning due to their use of a modified version of the Android operating system, which can lead to issues with app functionality, including the Adventure Pass subscription and associated features.

Troubleshooting Device Limitations

If students encounter issues loading Legends of Learning due to device limitations, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Device and Browser Troubleshooting:

    • Restart the device.

    • Close unnecessary apps or browser tabs.

    • Update the browser to the latest version.

    • Enable hardware acceleration in the browser settings.

    • Clear the browser cache and cookies.

    • Ensure that Legends of Learning domains are whitelisted in any network filters.

    • Verify that the internet connection meets the platform's speed requirements.

  2. Legacy Assignment Experience:

    • Convert only the affected students to the legacy assignment experience, which uses a lighter version of the platform requiring less device memory. Note that Awakening may still be inaccessible on very limited devices.

    • If multiple students are likely to face issues, consider converting the entire class to the legacy assignment experience as a preventative measure.

    • NOTE: You will need to reach out to support@legendsoflearning.com to request the legacy experience for students.
