Update as of 4/24/13
Java recently released Java 7 Update 21. Apple is blocking any version of Java that is not "current", so as soon as a new Java release is put out, Safari stops being able to use Java. Students can easily download and install the lasted version on their own computers. However, there may be a lag in the updates to campus lab and classroom computers until we are able to push that update out to the entire campus.
Even when Java is up to date, Safari on the Mac also prompts with the following message:
Students should choose "Don't Block" and then Safari will allow them to use the recording applet. There is nothing we at Carleton can do about this, it is prompted by the fact that Pearson has used unsigned code in their applet.
Students who have trouble getting their own computers to work properly should take their computer to the ITS Helpdesk for assistance.
Important Update as of 2/8/13
There are specific versions of both Java and Flash that should be installed for the recording and playback features to work properly. Students should install:
- at least Java version 7 Update 13 (obtained from www.java.com)
- at least Flash player version 11.5.502.148 (obtained from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer)
