Support for Internet Explorer on Student Domains will no longer be available

  • Updated

Effective February 1, 2022, Skilljar will no longer support Internet Explorer or Internet Explorer Mode in Microsoft Edge on Student Domains.

If you or your students are currently using Internet Explorer (IE) to log into Student Domains, please switch to a supported browser.

 

What do I need to do?

If you or your students access Student Domains via Internet Explorer, you will need to begin using one of our supported browsers.

 

Why is Skilljar retiring support of Internet Explorer?

In 2015, Microsoft replaced Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge, a modern replacement for their legacy browser. Since Edge's release, Internet Explorer is no longer actively maintained by Microsoft and does not support many of the advanced web features necessary to build products that meet our customers' needs. Additionally, Internet Explorer does not receive security updates from Microsoft, making it an unsafe browser to use.

Skilljar strives to create great products for our customers and supporting legacy browsers limits our ability to do so. By removing support, we will be able to release new features faster and with more reliability.

 

What happens if I don’t switch to a supported browser?

Starting February 1, 2022, you and your students will begin seeing an in-app message alerting you to the change. By March 1, learners will be unable to access Student Domains via Internet Explorer and will need to switch to a supported browser. 

 

Please contact your CSM or support@skilljar.com if you have any additional questions.
