The Blackboard Mobile Learn app enables students to receive course notifications and updates to course content from their mobile device. The app can be used with both wireless and cellular networks. Not only can you view updates to the course, the Dashboard feature gives you the latest information on all of your courses and organizations in one spot! Watch the video►

Mobile Learn is not intended to replace courses in the Learning Portal, the app provides quick access to course Announcements, Grades, and contribute entries to Blogs, Discussion forums and Journals. New content should be added to the course using your computer desktop. Some media and file formats may not display on certain devices.

Note the Mobile Learn app should not be used to create or complete tests, quizzes, surveys and assignments. While the My Grades function in the Mobile Learn app may provide students with early feedback on their achievement, per UofT policy, only the Repository of Student Information (ROSI) represents their official final marks.

Once you’ve downloaded the app all you need is your UTORid and password to access your courses.

PLEASE NOTE:
Blackboard Mobile Learn is developed and supported by Blackboard, rather than locally at UofT. As such, we are unable to accommodate requests to extend or modify Apps. While an attempt has been made to familiarize support staff with Apps across supported platforms, due to limited availability of devices we are most familiar with iOS and to a lesser extent Android platforms.

In general, the service is provided "as-is". Many questions may have to be referred either to your carrier, handset manufacturer, or to Blackboard directly. Please see also:
