Blackboard Mobile Learn FAQs

 

 

 

 What is Blackboard Mobile Learn?

Blackboard Mobile Learn is a free mobile app that allows you to access your Blackboard Learn* courses in the Connecticut Community Colleges system.
     *Only courses on the Blackboard Learn system will work with this app.  If your courses are on Blackboard Vista they will not be available on this app.

 

Will I still need a computer or laptop to access my Blackboard courses if I have the Blackboard mobile app?

 Yes, your computer or laptop with supported browser and java settings needs to be the primary online tool for your course. Your mobile device app should only be used for checking in and reading. Assignments, Tests, and Quizzes absolutely need to be taken on a computer or laptop with supported browser and java settings.  Technical Support is only available for problems occuring on computer or laptop Blackboard Supported browsers.

 

Can I just use a mobile web browser on my mobile phone rather than download the mobile app?

Yes, the mobile app formats the content for easier viewing than just logging in through the mobile web browser.  Although it is probable you can login to myCommNet and connect to Blackboard through a mobile browser, a computer or laptop with supported browser and java settings needs to be the primary online tool for your course. 

 

Can I take tests in Blackboard Mobile Learn?

No, the Blackboard Mobile Learn app does NOT support the Tests tool. If you navigate to a test link in your course, you may see a prompt that will enable you to open the test in your mobile device’s web browser. DO NOT TAKE TESTS, QUIZZES OR COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS USING A MOBILE DEVICE APP OR MOBILE DEVICE BROWSER. You must ONLY use a computer with a supported browser to take tests.

 

What can I do in Blackboard Mobile Learn?

The following features are available in Blackboard Mobile Learn, if it is a feature your instructor has turned on: Announcements, Grades, Blogs, Roster, Discussions, Journals, and accessing documents and mobile supported media from within the course.
