Windows 7 and Blackboard

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

 Q. I heard the University is moving to Windows 7. Will Blackboard continue to work in this environment?

 A. Yes, since Blackboard is Web-based you can get to Blackboard on any computer that is connected to the Internet.

But you may need to review the browser you use in Windows 7. Browsers that are recommended for Windows 7 (64-bit) for our version of Blackboard as of August 15, 2011, are: 

  • Mozilla Firefox (Version 3.6x) **Recommended for best performance**
  • Internet Explorer (Versions: IE 8, IE 9)
  • All newer stable versions of Chrome
