• Internet Browser Problems (Tuesday, May 18, 2010)
  Blackboard only supports Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher.  If you have an older version you must upgrade immediately or you will experience problems.  Among many other problems, if you are having trouble locating the "reply" button in your discussion boards this is why. 
  
  To check which version you have:  Click on 'Help' then 'About Internet Explorer'
  
  Here is the link to upgrade to IE 8.0 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/
  
  Mozilla Firefox is another browser option (free to download) and tends to have little compatibility problems with Blackboard.  I use version 3.0.6 with no trouble.
  
  Here is a link to download Firefox version 3.5 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html
  
  If you need further assistance or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

• Important Communication Reminder (Tuesday, May 18, 2010)
  Dear students,
  
  Please remember to use proper English and grammar in all communications with the college.  These communications include email messages as well as written assignments and discussion board postings.  It is not appropriate to use text/instant message short hand (i.e. using numbers in place of letters, such as 2 and 4).  Emails, assignments, discussion board postings, etc. sent to instructors and college administrators should exhibit the utmost professionalism at all times. 
  
  Sincerely,
  Fisher College Faculty & Staff
