What should I do if my course will not load?

Thank you for your patience. There are a few reasons why a course might not be working as expected.

If you see a message that begins with “You’ve encountered an error,” like this one:

This type of error relates to access permission and cannot be resolved by learners. If you see it, please contact your learning administrator, or OpenSesame Support at support@opensesame.com, for assistance.

If a course seems frozen or the content doesn’t load, please give the following a try:

• Confirm that the course view is zoomed out completely.
  If a view is magnified, that can sometimes hide “submit” or “continue” buttons and make a course appear frozen. You can find instructions on how to zoom out here.
• Switch to a different web browser.
  If you have access to a different browser on your device, such as Chrome or Firefox, try launching the course there to see if the issue persists in a different environment.
• Confirm that OpenSesame and our publishers are allowed on your network.
  If your computer is on a highly secure network, it may use a firewall that blocks content from sites affiliated with OpenSesame. Please confirm with your IT department that these sites are allowed. You can find a list of them here.
• Check that your device meets our recommended system requirements, which can be found here.
