A guide to the Blackboard mobile app for students What is the Blackboard app? You can access Blackboard on your mobile device by downloading a free app. The mobile app is designed to extend access to your learning and complement your use of Blackboard on a desktop computer or laptop. You can use the app to view online content in your Blackboard courses. For example you can Access your learning materials on the go from your smart phone or tablet. Keep up to date with announcements and information. Set up the app to send you notifications to your device when something new is added. Personalise how your list of courses appears on your device. Read and write to discussion boards. Access live online classroom sessions using Blackboard Collaborate Ultra How do I get the app? The app is available for Android, Apple and Windows smartphones and tablets. To download and log in to the app: Search for \u201cBlackboard\u201d in your device\u2019s App Store: Android Play Store https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.blackboard.android.bbstudent&hl=en_GB Apple App Store https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/bb-student-by-blackboard\/id950424861?mt=8 Windows App Store https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/store\/p\/bb-student\/9nblggh08j8w Click to install the app. When opening the app for the first time, tap on Search for your School, type in \u2018Reading\u2019 and select University of Reading from the results. Click on the Web Login button. You will then\u00a0be taken to the University’s Microsoft sign in page inside the app. Using the App Institution Page When you first open the app, you will be taken to the Institution Page in line with the desktop version of Blackboard. Here you can see important messages and open Help Pages and Support links. Activity Stream You can open the Activity Stream, which shows announcements and other updates from your courses. Viewing Courses In the Courses section of the app, you\u2019ll see all of your courses, listed by title. You may need to scroll down the screen to see all of your courses. Just tap on a title to open that course. Course Content Inside the course you\u2019ll see folders which replicate the menu structure you see when logging onto Blackboard on a laptop or computer – for example Learning Materials, Assignments, Discussions. Tap on a title to enter that area and view content. Where there are attached files (e.g. PDFs) you can tap on the icon to open it. Exactly how files open will depend on the file type, and the apps you have installed on your device. \u00a0 Downloading Files The Blackboard app now lets you download your Course Files Locally so you can access them later without an internet connection. To do this Go inside your Module Navigate to the Course Content Tap on the Download Button in the top right Choose if you\u2019d like to download all content or only select items If you choose all, the download starts immediately If you choose some items, a list will appear for you to select items from Wait for the confirmation message You\u2019ll see the items are downloading Once the message reads \u2018Downloaded\u2019 you can access the files offline. Files stored locally are automatically updated once you connect to a network. You can see when the last update was. To Delete the files, tab the icon in the top right again and choose \u2018Delete all content\u2019 Discussion Boards The Blackboard App is a good platform to engage with discussion forums.

Tap on the title of a Thread to enter the discussion, or Start a Thread to begin a new topic.

Blackboard Assignments You will be able to see a list of all assignments in the app, and can submit to any assignments on your course that use the Blackboard Assignment tool. \u00a0 Please note that Turnitin assignments cannot be accessed via the Blackboard app. Having selected the file, press\u00a0Submit or\u00a0Save For Later (i.e. Save as Draft) Marks You can access the Marks screen from the main menu.

Please note that all of your courses will show an overall mark of \u2018N\/A\u2019. This is because at Reading we do not use the My Grades Total column. However you will be able to see the marks for any assignments which have been marked, just as you would when logging onto Blackboard on a desktop or laptop computer. Course tools and content which cannot be viewed in the app Some Blackboard course tools cannot be viewed directly within the app, but instead will open the course within a browser. These include Blogs, Journals and Wikis Contacts Turnitin assignments \u2013 these cannot be accessed via the Blackboard app There are some types of course content which do not display as well in the mobile app as they do on a laptop or desktop computer or behave differently on different devices and\/or depending on other apps you have installed on your device (e.g. Microsoft Office files). However, PDFs, MP3 (Audio) and MP4 (Video) files embedded within a course should be accessible on any device. Some embedded videos, including YuJa videos, currently do not display correctly in the app. Settings There are currently few user-configurable settings within the app. For instance, notification settings are set outside the device.
