Test Your Plugins

The following links and items of multimedia will allow you to discover if a plugin is installed correctly on the computer that you are using. Please note that this only tests the machine you are using now and does not guarantee that another machine in the same suite or room will work in the same way.

Please also note that these tests will work in school only as they are linked to Content Services hosted on the HGfL Schools' Intranet.
