Engageli Application vs Browser-Based Instruction

Instructors can teach in Engageli either through the instructor application or via Google Chrome. While both options are comparable, determining which will provide the optimal Engageli experience is largely determined by your hardware and internet configuration. 

If you are using the Engageli instructor application, Engageli recommends the following hardware configurations:

• Mac
• • macOS Catalina version 10.15 or higher
  • Quad-core or better CPU 
  • 8GB RAM or more
  • 2015 or newer hardware

• PC / Windows 10
• Intel i5 or i7 (or equivalent) CPU
• 8GB RAM or more
• 2015 or newer hardware

It is also recommended that your internet connection be at least 2.5 Mbps, which you can test here. 

If your laptop and internet connection meet the requirements, we recommend using the application. Otherwise, you should use Google Chrome for browser-based instruction. 

Instructor Application: Engageli’s application gives you full functionality, allowing you to utilize all of Engageli’s engagement metrics and teaching tools.
