Google's Chrome Browser and Blackboard
Google has just released its own browser, known as Chrome.
Initial tests of the Blackboard site using the Chrome browser have been encouraging, with many functions on the site working perceivably faster than is typical with Internet Explorer and even Firefox.
However, as Chrome has just been released, we have not had time to fully test and vet the Blackboard application. Please let us know if you find additional issues beyond the ones described here.
Known issues with Blackboard on Chrome:
1. When adding an item to a Content Area in Blackboard, The WYSIWYG editor that appears in Internet Explorer and Firefox appears in Chrome as a simple text box instead. Instructors can still add items, but the rich text formatting options are not available in Chrome for Items or Announcements. Note that in contrast, the rich text editor within the Wiki and Blog tools is still available in Chrome, and the direct HTML option is still available for all items, so instructors who are familiar with HTML can still achieve formatting by entering the HTML directly.
Please send any comments or issues you discover to blackboard@neu.edu
Thank you for using Blackboard at Northeastern University!
