Interestingly, Apple mobile devices account for 2% of the UR Blackboard accesses and 80% of all mobile device accesses.More importantly from a support standpoint, we see that about 20% of the community use browsers that are not Blackboard-supported. \u00a0That is, Safari for Windows, Chrome, and those listed below Chrome are not officially compatible and supported for Blackboard. \u00a0We hope they work for people, but we recommend that people use Firefox because it has the least number of known issues with Blackboard. \u00a0Also, 5% of the community use browsers that are not Java enabled. \u00a0Technically, Java is not required, but it causes much poorer performance for people when using features that can take advantage of Java, e.g., editing text in a discussion board posting or assignment.Please check the\u00a0UR Blackboard support page<\/a>\u00a0and then contact\u00a0blackboard@richmond.edu<\/a>\u00a0if you have any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
