Can you help me avoid any technical issues when I am doing a test, quiz, homework, or anything through Blackboard???

ANSWER: Yes! Here are some tips:

  • Use Chrome as your browser.
  • Clear out browsing history/cache/cookies often (e.g. once a week), particularly before beginning exams.
  • Do not open multiple tabs while working in Blackboard.
  • Always log out of Blackboard when you are finished.
  • Do not use the “Back” button in your browser. Instead, use the links in Blackboard to navigate through your course.
  • Save your work frequently. If you are doing a short answer problem you can always type up your work in Google Docs and then copy/paste into Blackboard when complete (being mindful of any timers that may be running during a test).
