What is Internet Explorer 7?
Welcome to the Internet Explorer 7 support page. If you're viewing this page, it is an indication that your web browser has recently been updated with the newest version of Internet Explorer. A web browser is a tool used to view internet resources and is essentially the application that displays a website to you. Previously, faculty and staff have been utilizing Internet Explorer version 6.0. We are now developing a process to move slowly over to Internet Explorer 7.0.
The browsers are fundamentally the same with small differences that make for a more enhanced web-browsing experience. This newer version of Internet Explorer also supports many more growing Web 2.0 resources. The user interface of the browser (buttons, menus) will be the most noticeable change, those functional improvements and differences are covered in detail at our training website.
