Blackboard upgrade info
Following the recent Blackboard upgrade:
- It is no longer possible to change the overall style or colour scheme of a module shell. The default style is all there is.
- Some of the functions in the upgraded Blackboard (for example – attaching files) do not work with the Internet Explorer web browser. Try using either Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari web browser instead.
Internet Explorer and Turnitin
Students may experience issues when trying to submit work to Turnitin using the Internet Explorer web browser. If this occurs they should try using either Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari.
