What if I am using a different computer What is a browser and which one do you recommend to access LASALS online lessons? A browser is an application or program used to access websites on the Internet. There are six major browsers: Internet Explorer Microsoft Edge Opera Safari Firefox Google Chrome We recommend that you use Google Chrome to access Online Lessons with us, as it is the browser that is most compatible with the Google environment that we use for our courses. If you are using a mobile device, you can use the dedicated apps to access Google Classroom and Google Meet. See sections on both apps below. Another Gmail account keeps taking over when I try to access your emails or Google Classroom If you use Google Chrome, you can have different profiles in your browser. This can be for different family members, if your device is shared, or for different Gmail accounts for work or personal use. To set a new profile, click on the circle located to the right hand side of the address bar. Click on the circle and then click on +add Give your new profile a name of your choice and choose a picture to help you distinguish between your different profiles. Once created, a new browser window will open with a different picture on it. The picture will be the one you chose in the previous stage or the picture that you have uploaded to your Google Account . In this new browser window, you will need to log into your leicesterlearns account again. This will now separate your private account from your student account (leicesterlearns).
