As an instructor, you can access Engageli either through the instructor application or via Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. While both options are comparable, determining which provides 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 instructor application. Otherwise, you should use the latest version of Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge 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.
