GeorgiaVIEW Tips for Success
- Your GeorgiaVIEW username is your CanesNet username: first.lastname@gsw.edu (e.g. joe.doe@gsw.edu)
- Your GeorgiaVIEW password is your CanesNet password.
- By default, courses will not be available to your students until the first day of classes.
- Browsers:
- Preferred web browsers for GaVIEW are Google Chrome and Firefox - the latest versions. You can use the Edge browser, it's supported. Internet Explorer is not recommended and not supported.
- Learn about System and Software Requirements
- Do it yourself and recommend your students to clear their web browser cache and cookies regularly, especially before starting quizzes. It’s a good practice to clear browser cache and cookies often to avoid GeorgiaVIEW/GoVIEW issues.
- Recommend your students to compose assignments using software such as Microsoft Word, then copy and paste the text or attach the document to the assignment. It will help them to avoid timing-out and losing their work. Lost compositions are NOT recoverable.
- To minimize issues while taking a quiz, ask your students:
- To clear browser’s cache and cookies
- To save each quiz response as they answer it
- Don’t save all responses individually at the end of the quiz. Saving too many responses at once can cause your quiz to freeze and fail to save the responses.
