Try First (Troubleshooting)...

1. Try a HARD Refresh. 
   Safari: Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + R. 
   Chrome/Firefox: Hold both the ⌘ Cmd and ⇧ Shift keys and press the R key.
2. Try in a private/incognito browser window
3. Try a different supported browser (make sure the alternate browser is also fully updated, I recommend Chrome or Firefox)
4. Make sure your browser is fully up to date
5. Check your browser version and settings
6. Clear your cache (here is how to do that on a PC and a Mac)
7. Try on a different device (if possible)
8. Try on a different network (if possible)

Images will not appear in the course.
There is an issue with Safari. It might be occurring because you have "prevent cross-site tracking" enabled for Safari. You can try to disable this setting for your Safari application. The other work around for this would be to use another browser.

Canvas on Mobile Devices

The Canvas interface was optimized for desktop displays, so using small form factors such as phones may not be a pleasant experience in using Canvas. For the best user experience, please download the Canvas mobile applications.
