Blackboard released version 1.4 of the Blackboard Collaborate Launcher for the Mac platform. This desktop application enables the initiation of a web conferencing session without relying on the local system's Java. Users will be prompted to download and install an update by starting the application (e.g. Applications/Blackboard Collaborate Launcher.app). The maintenance release resolves a number of issues, detailed in the body of this announcement (click on the title).
