Browser Plug-ins/Add-ons
Some Blackboard courses use browser plug-ins (also called Add-ons). To view course content, you may need one or more of the plug-ins below. Browsers will generally automatically download any plug-in required by a particular page.
NOTE: It is important to have your browser(s) installed prior to installing a plug-in. If you prefer to use the Firefox browser, ensure that the latest Firefox version has been installed prior to installing plug-ins.
