Internet History and Cache Sometimes, this stored data can create problems for Blackboard users trying to login to the system. If you are experiencing “Session Already Running” errors or are unable to view certain web content, try clearing your Internet history and/or cache.
The problem occurs when you are using Safari on a Mac computer. You are able to login to myCommNet but when you click the link to Blackboard it requires an additional login. This is usually due to the browser not accepting cookies. You could workaround this by using a different browser such as Chrome.
When the text you enter into Blackboard has extra space, has funny characters, or looks goofy in some other way, this usually happens when you cut and paste from a Word document or from the web.
The Delay value indicates how long it is taking for audio data from the attendee's machine to reach the Blackboard servers. Attendees that have particularly high delays of 1 or more seconds may not appear to be responding in a conversational way. Please allow time for them to respond before assuming they won't.

Recommended Browser We strongly recommend Blackboard students use the latest version of Mozilla Firefox for Windows or Mac because it is the most compatible with our current Blackboard systems.
Blackboard recommends JRE versions 7 and 8 for features that depend on it. JRE version 6 might work but could result in unexpected behavior. Oracle has acknowledged some security issues with JRE version 6. Blackboard Learn does not require any other browser plug-ins.
Google Chrome versions 42+, Mozilla Firefox versions 52+, and Microsoft Edge don't support NPAPI-type plug-ins, including Java plug-ins and many media browser plug-ins. Blackboard doesn't support these browsers for using embedded media types that require third-party NPAPI plug-ins for viewing.
Sometimes, because of network issues, Blackboard can be slow to respond, particularly if you are uploading any files. Do not close the web browser, or minimize it to do other things while the assignment/post is uploading, as this may terminate the upload before it is completed.
