• Blackboard 9.1 Internet Browser Compatibility Notice (Friday, August 5, 2011)
  
  Good morning,
       After our Blackboard upgrade, NCVPS has been getting used to the new 9.1 system and have learned of a few incompatibility issues that could and will likely affect student use of our system. These issues are mainly centered around Internet Explorer versions 8 and 9. When using these versions of IE in Blackboard, students will experience issues with content being viewable, participating in assessments, and uploading assignment files into the system. IE 8 can be manipulated to be usable to a degree by using IE 8 in compatibility mode. As of right now, the best suited browser for Blackboard 9.1 has been found to be Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and higher. As always, students and districts need to make sure that their versions of Flash and Java are up to date for these browsers for continued participation in the NCVPS program.
       In addition to using IE 8 or 9 in the course environment some of the issues stated above can be overcome by making sure browser history and internet cache is cleared prior to the login to the Blackboard environment. We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter and NCVPS will keep you updated with any new developments.
