What is Java?
Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. These applications, written in the Java programming language and access from your browse, are called "applets". Corporations also use Java applets for intranet applications and other e-business solutions
2. You will need a version of Java for all browsers. Web CT recommends this version for windows, jre-1_5_0_07
Note - Version 6 Update 2 is the latest version of java and should work properly with Blackboard WebCT, however I have not tested it yet, so therefore I am recommended you stay with the version that blackboard links to.
