especially for students to view content and participate in courses.

the information included on this page. For a detailed description of what

Install app and log in

Use these steps to download and install the Blackboard app.

   1. From your tablet or phone, access the appropriate app store.
   Download to your Apple® device
   <https://itunes.apple.com/app/blackboard-app/id950424861?mt=8>
   Download to your Android™ device
   <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackboard.android.bbstudent&hl=en>
   2. If necessary, search for Blackboard.
   3. Install the Blackboard app on your mobile device.
   4. Open the Blackboard app and search for the full name of your school.
   If you're unable to find your school, try modifying your search. If your
   school is part of a larger institution or district, try searching for that
   name instead. If you still can’t find your school, contact your school’s IT
   help desk.
   5. Log in with your Blackboard Learn username and password. These are
   typically the same credentials you use to access your Blackboard courses on
   a computer.


Landing page

After you log in, the default initial screen is the activity stream. If
your institution is able to set a landing page for Blackboard Learn, such
as the course list, the app matches that setting. If the landing page is
set to the institution page, the activity stream shows instead because
institution pages aren't available in the app.
Activity stream

See an up-to-the-minute list of important course activity including new
content, announcements, and grades. The activity stream automatically
prioritizes items to help you focus on the tasks that you want to take care
of right away. Tap the menu icon to navigate to your courses and other
features.
