Browsers

To use Laulima, the University of Hawaiʻi system's online course software, we recommend Mozilla Firefox (direct link to download Mozilla Firefox). It has proven to be the most stable and consistent when working with Laulima.

Enable Popups

Go into your browser and change the setting to allow popups for Laulima. Please refer to your browser's online "Help" if you are unsure on how to do this.

Plug-ins

Plug-ins are programs that work in conjunction with your web browser to display information such as animation, content, sound, or video that the web browser cannot handle directly. There are four plug-ins that are commonly used in courses at UHH.

Please check that you have these four plug-ins, that they are up-to-date, and that your security settings are sufficient to use them by clicking on the links below:
