Running the Accessibility Test

PLATO Learning provides an accssibilty test to ensure you network and workstation is configured to access all necessary websites.

A successful run of the PLE Accessibility test looks like this:

If you see a red X instead of a white check mark in a green circle for any of the seven tests, you may need to make additional changes to your network configuration in order to access PLE successfully.

Passing the test above will ensure that your workstation will be able to navigate to these sites:

http://ple.platoweb.com

http://redirect.ple.platoweb.com

http://redirect.platoweb.com
