Show or Hide the Course Menu



Blackboard 9.1 allows users to decide if they want to Show or Hide the Course Menu. In the event that the Course Menu is hidden, users will only see the Announcements area. To Show or Hide the Course Menu click on the arrow located between the Announcements area and the Course Menu when in the Show position and in the far left hand side of the Announcements areas when in the Hide position.

Problems Submitting Assessments and Assignments

Using Internet Explorer 8 with Blackboard will cause problems for students attempting to submit assignments and assessments. Additionally, students will experience problems downloading and uploading files. To avoid these issues we suggest using another browser like Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com), Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) or Safari (http://www.apple.com/safari).
If students continue to use Internet Explorer 8 some of these problems can be fixed by changing the “Compatibility View” in IE8 (Tools > Compatibility View Settings > Check ‘Display all websites in Compatibility View’ > click Close. You will need to close IE8 and reopen the browser before the change takes effect.)
