Why WOG Computers Struggle with the Student Learning Space (SLS)

I’ve noticed several recurring challenges when accessing or embedding resources on the Student Learning Space (SLS) from government-managed (WOG) devices. Here’s a breakdown of the main reasons:

1. Strict Browser & Operating System Requirements

SLS officially supports only specific browser and OS versions. As of late July 2025, the supported configurations are:

• Windows 10 or later with Chrome 128+ or Edge 128+

• macOS 13+ with Safari 17+ or Chrome 128+

• iPadOS 17+, iOS 17+, Android 13+, and ChromeOS 128+ with corresponding latest browsers 
  Using browsers below these versions (or outdated OS) may cause embedding features or file uploads to fail.

2. Security Restrictions and Browser Behavior

WOG-managed devices often have tightened IT policies—this may include disabled JavaScript, blocked cookies, or restrictions on iframes. These limitations can interfere with SLS features, especially embedding external or interactive content.
