- Blackboard strives to make all its products as accessible as
possible. JAWS for Windows 11 and 12 were used during accessibility
testing.
- The following technologies are not supported:
- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7
- Firefox 1.x, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5
- Safari 2.0, 3.x (or any version on Windows)
- Mac OSX 10.4 "Tiger"
- Java 5
- Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9 are tested in Standards
Mode. Some known issues can be resolved by using Compatibility Mode
(emulates IE7 behavior).
- Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have moved to a rapid
release cycle. At the time of testing, Chrome 16.0 and Firefox 9.0 were
the latest available versions. Since then, new stable versions may
have been released and widely adopted. Blackboard is supporting all
newer stable versions of Chrome and Firefox.
