AOL

America Online (AOL) users may not be able access Blackboard properly using the AOL browser. It is recommended that if you use AOL to connect to the Internet, you should use another browser to log on to Blackboard.

• Sign on to AOL as usual, but stay at the AOL Main (Welcome) page
• Keep AOL running, but minimise the AOL window. Open your secondary browser - e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox - and use this to go to http://online.uwl.ac.uk
