Tech Tip: Adobe Flash End of Life (EOL)

For those of you who have previously included Flash-based materials in your Blackboard courses (e.g., SWF files, Flashpaper animations), please be advised that Adobe and all major web browsers recently discontinued support for all Flash-related tools and contents. Flash-based contents will no longer display in Blackboard and there is no workaround to make them do so. This is not a Blackboard issue, but rather a decision by the vendor/owner of the Flash technology, Adobe. NOTE: This end-of-life only impacts Flash -- NOT any of Adobe's other software products (e.g., Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Photoshop).
