Academic Technology Launchpad: Browser Check

• Off-campus, be sure you have a reliable internet connection, especially when taking tests and quizzes in Blackboard.
• On-campus, be sure to connect to the MC-Secure wireless.

Use supported technology  -  especially when taking tests or quizzes, or completing assignments.

Chromebooks may not be compatible with all Blackboard features or some content added to Blackboard

Tablets and Mobile: Some, but not all, features and content in Blackboard may be available on your device. Do not use a Chromebook, tablet, or a mobile device to take a test or quiz.

If you experience issues accessing Blackboard content, use a compatible computer and browser.

Your course may have additional specific software or computer-related requirements. Check with your instructor. 

Some instructors add extra content to their courses, often from 3rd party systems beyond the college.

•  Examples: MyMathLab, SoftChalk, MyLabs, videos, an online textbook publisher platform or other online learning activities.
• The technical requirements for those systems might be different than the usual Blackboard settings. Be sure to read and follow recommendations from your instructor or that system provider.
• Your instructor may include course materials that work better with certain browsers. For example, Soft Chalk may not work well with Chrome, even though Chrome is compatible with Blackboard.
• Some content may not display on your mobile device. For example, Flash videos may not play on IOS devices.
