Using the Compatability View in IE8 for Blackboard

If you're using Internet Explorer version 8, you should turn on the  "Compatibility View" mode setting so Bb renders properly.

You should advise your students to do this too.  This prevents some problems they may have taking online tests.

To enable Compatibility View for Blackboard in Internet Explorer 8:
1. Push and release the "ALT" key on the keyboard to reveal IE8 menu toolbar


2.
Click "Tools" menu > Compatibility View Settings
3. Type "blackboard.garrettcollege.edu" and click the Add button

This will add "garrettcollege.edu" to the Compatibility View list.
