Browsers and devices

LearnBoard runs in a web browser, with nothing to install on your computer. This page lists which browsers to use, how LearnBoard works on phones and tablets, the light and dark themes, how to save a screen as a PDF, and how charts behave inside Moodle. It is for everyone who opens LearnBoard, and for IT teams checking what their staff need.

At a glance

• Use a current browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, kept up to date.
• Phones and tablets work. The menu folds into a drawer on small screens.
• Light, dark or match your system, from the theme button in the top bar.
• Download PDF saves the screen you are on, charts included.
• Inside Moodle, charts are drawn in the Moodle page itself and take your Moodle theme.

Browsers

LearnBoard is built on modern web standards and needs a current browser.

Chrome and Edge

Version 111 or later. LearnBoard’s own automated checks run in Chrome.

Firefox

Version 128 or later.

Safari

Version 16.4 or later, on Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Internet Explorer is not supported. If a screen looks broken or empty in an older browser, update the browser first.

Tip

LearnBoard needs JavaScript switched on, and remembers your sign-in in the browser until you choose Sign out from the account menu. On a shared computer, always sign out when you finish.

Phones and tablets

• LearnBoard opens on a phone or tablet in the same browser. On a small screen, the side menu opens as a drawer from the top bar.
• Cards stack to fit the width of the screen.
• Moodle pages that show LearnBoard charts stay readable on a phone too.

Light and dark themes

The theme button in the top bar cycles through three choices:

Choice	What it does
Match system theme	follows your device’s light or dark setting, and changes when your device does
Light theme	always light
Dark theme	always dark

Your choice is kept in this browser.

Saving a screen as a PDF

1. Open the screen you want to keep.
2. Choose Download PDF.
3. In your browser’s print window, choose Save as PDF as the destination.

LearnBoard uses your browser’s own print-to-PDF, so charts come out exactly as they look on screen. The navigation is left off, cards are kept whole across page breaks, and the suggested file name includes the screen, the workspace and the date.

For the numbers themselves, use the Download button on a card or table where your role and plan include CSV export.

LearnBoard inside Moodle

The LearnBoard block and the LearnBoard page in Moodle draw their charts in the Moodle page itself, not in a frame. They take your Moodle site’s theme and stay readable on a phone. A viewer’s browser loads the charts and figures from LearnBoard, so the browser rules above apply to Moodle pages that show LearnBoard charts too.

Accessibility

• LearnBoard can be used with a keyboard, and whatever has keyboard focus is shown with a visible ring.
• Every chart carries its figures as a table for screen readers, so the numbers behind a chart can be read, not only seen.
• Every card’s i button explains what it shows in words, not only in colour.
