I'm seeing a black screen when launching Online Education modules

The latest Adobe Flash Player update may be preventing the service to work. Try the below steps as a temporary fix.

1. Make sure you have closed all programs and saved any work
2. Download the Adobe Uninstaller from Adobe
3. Restart your computer, if required (Adobe recommends that you do)
4. Download the Adobe archive of version 10.3.181.26
5. Unzip/Extract the contents of the download

If you are using Windows XP/Vista/7 and Internet Explorer, browse the folder you have just extracted, and locate the file 'flashplayer10_3r181_26_winax.exe'. It's default location will be 'fp_10.3.181.26_archive\10_3r181_26\flashplayer10_3r181_26_winax.exe'. If you are using a different Internet browser, please read the 'read me' file in the extracted folder for more information.
