When participating in distance education courses, it is vital to consider the technology needed in order to have a successful course experience.
To access classes and complete coursework using the core features of Blackboard Learn, your system must meet these minimums. However, additional hardware specifications, software, or browser plug-ins may be required to complete course work as assigned by some instructors or programs. It is the student's responsibility to check with instructors/programs for special technology requirements.
Operating System: Windows 10 or newer; Mac OS 10.14 Mojave or newer
NOTE: Chromebooks operate with the Chrome OS, which is not supported by Blackboard Learn, although you may experience success with some features. Please do not plan to rely solely on a Chromebook for your course work; you must ensure access to a device running a full-featured operating system within the supported versions noted above.
NOTE: Although you can perform many tasks in Blackboard Learn on a mobile device (iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or phone), either through a mobile browser, or the Blackboard mobile application, not all of Learn's features support a mobile format. As such, you cannot rely solely on a mobile device to fully complete course work and must ensure access to a device running a full-featured operating system within the supported versions noted above.
We do not recommend using Apple Safari or Microsoft Edge. Microsoft Internet Explorer is no longer a supported browser.
Additionally, you may need to download these software applications if needed.
