Java
Check |

The version of Java that Blackboard currently supports is 1.6.0_x (PC) or 1.5.0_x (Mac). Older versions may work, but if you're experiencing problems with Blackboard, you should update your Java Plug-in (click "Free Java Download"). Note that the test at the left may give incorrect results in the Safari web browser, which in some cases has a working Java even though the test displays only a grey box.
