Overview
The Blackboard App allows users to interact with their courses wherever they need and provides an intuitive way to interact with different types of features, depending on your role, be it an instructor or a student. The app is available on both Apple and Android devices.
Note: The Instructor and Student apps were previously separate, but they will be unified in a single app in September 2022. Impact should be minimal for students with this change, as any student using the existing Blackboard app should simply update. For Instructors, assistants, and graders they should download the Blackboard App from the app store and remove the former Blackboard Instructor app from their devices.The Blackboard Instructor app will no longer be supported from Friday 30th September 2022, and will be removed from the Apple App and Android App stores. The app will continue to work on your device, but updates, enhancements and support will cease after this time. Instructors are advised to remove the app from their devices after installing the new version.
