Is there a preferred browser for using Blackboard?
Yes. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher is the preferred browser of Blackboard. Download IE (clicking this link will open a new browser window to the Microsoft.com web site). If you are a Mac user, you should use Internet Explorer 5.1 (for Mac OS 9.2) or 5.2 (for Mac OS X.3). Download IE for the Mac.
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox work best with Blackboard. If you are using Windows XP, IE 6 or 7 will work. If you are a Mac user, you should use Firefox. For Windows users, it is best that you have both browsers installed on your computer because if something doesn’t work in one browser, it should work in the other.
