Dear Dr. C-

 

I am a designer at a school using Bb v 8. We closely monitor (and re-publish for our users) the most recent browser compatibility information that Blackboard publishes. I notice that there is not one single page URL that I can watch for updated browser compatibility--- instead, there are several unique page IDs. As a result, you have many different (and outdated) versions of this document online at the same time. Please see:

Sept. 30

http://kb.blackboard.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=25368489

December 21

http://kb.blackboard.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=48759446

 

I understand that these are not even the most up-to-date documents as I write this, but I can't find the new one with a Google search.

Is it possible to either...

A) Create a single page URL that always has the most up-to-date browser compatibility information, such as

blackboard.com/browser_compatibility/v8.0

or

B) Create an RSS-enabled blog/wiki feed  that we can subscribe to which will always provide the most updated information?

 

Either choice should be a simple configuration in your content management system's preferences.

It would make a big difference to us out here in the trenches.

Thank you-

Ted Curran

Ted,

Along with release notes and other version-specific information, the Blackboard Maintenance Center at

http://kb.blackboard.com/display/DOCS/Blackboard+Maintenance+Center

includes supported browsers, OS's, and plugins for each Blackboard version.  I agree, it would be nice if it were more obvious how to find it!
