Collin College, starting with the Fall Semester, 2008, will use Blackboard Campus Edition (CE) as the online course management system for the district. This course management system is also used to support classroom teaching in addition to online and blended courses.

Blackboard CE is accessed through the college’s online portal, Cougar Web.

Browser Check

Before logging in, it is highly recommended that you perform a browser check to see if your computer is properly configured to use the Blackboard Learning System.

Check Browser

Pop-up Blockers

The Blackboard Learning System sometimes uses small browser windows to deliver requested content. Some pop-up blockers incorrectly interpret these small windows as pop-ups and block them. If you have installed a pop-up blocker, turn it off while using the Learning System.

Java Security Certificate

After logging in to the Blackboard Learning System, you will be prompted to accept a Java Security Certificate. You must click Yes or Always to ensure that Learning System functionality using Java will work properly in your browser.

Q: Why do I need to disable Pop-up blocker?

A: While using Blackboard, if you are unable to view discussion postings, quiz windows, and download links, then you need to disable pop-up blocking in your browser. Pop-up blockers work in the background while you browse the internet. When they detect a pop-up window that may be an unwanted advertisement, they automatically close the window. This can prevent Blackboard from performing properly.

Q: How can I disable pop-up blocker?

A: Pop-up blocking functions are included in some anti-virus, internet security, personal firewall, and internet browser programs. Disable the relevant setting in the program or set your Blackboard server as an allowed site. The following examples list some programs that include pop-up blocking functions.

• Norton Internet Security
• Zone Alarm Pro
• Google Toolbar
• Yahoo! Toolbar
• MSN Toolbar
• AOL 8.0 and later
• Safari browser
• Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 2
• Mozilla browser
• Netscape browser
