Blackboard's approach to browser testing

To verify this confidence with each new release, Blackboard executes our browser compatibility test suite against newly released browser versions on multiple OS combinations to ensure function prior to releasing a given version.

Newer browser versions

Because of the increased frequency of new browser versions released by some vendors, Blackboard's policy is to support all new browser versions released to the market as Generally Available or by supported release channels, even if the browser is released after testing has concluded for the release.

Older browsers

Just as we recommend keeping up with the latest version of Blackboard Learn for the best experience, the browser vendors make the same recommendation about their software.

Assistive software and accessibility

For the best Blackboard Learn experience with your screen reader, use Chrome TM and Jaws on a Windows® system. On a Mac® use Safari® and VoiceOver.

Java and other browser plugins

A handful of Blackboard Learn features require particular additional software to be installed. Without these, the features themselves won't function.
