Special Browser
Section! Microsoft
is expected to release a new browser (Internet
Explorer 9) in September. If you want consistent results with Online Classroom, despite the slick advertising, don't be the first in your neighborhood to upgrade. Programmers are working with IE9 and will let us know when it will be supported. As you may recall, IE8 provided some problems for Online Classroom users initially. IE8 is supported by Online Classroom, though you may still have a few innocuous problems, such as some screens too large to fit in OC's frame. If you open a page and see nothing, scroll down. For a history of the issues repaired by D2L, check here! A recent study has found that Microsoft's browser usage has fallen below 50%. See story. NEW: Microsoft is pushing IE9 to unsuspecting updaters.

Respondus'
new LockDown Browser
and its test creation tool
now work with Online
Classroom. Simply,
for the lockdown browser, once an instructor
"associates" a quiz with the
browser, students must use
it in place of Internet
Explorer or any other browser to participate
in the quiz. If
students do not download and
install it, the quiz will
not open for them!
Please go here to obtain the
browser.
Note to Students:
Your instructor will
determine if Online
Classroom is to be used.
Important
student information here!

online quiz with the Respondus browser.
