We are currently experiencing an issue with the Blackboard Collaboration tools (Virtual Classroom and Chat-NOT Blackboard Collaborate, formerly known as Elluminate) that will cause users to receive pop-up error message with the following security warning: “The application’s digital signature has an error. Do you want to run the application?” Please be sure to click “Run” (NOT “Cancel”) in order to use these tools. You should only need to do this once. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The application that connects Blackboard to Collaborate (formerly known as “Elluminate”), which was upgraded over the break, is having intermittent problems.

Until we return to the newest release, previously recorded sessions will be unavailable. Once the issue is resolved, all Collaborate recordings will once again be accessible.
