August 2022: New Blackboard App

Blackboard student app and Blackboard instructor app are now combined into one Blackboard app. The new app combines what were formally student and instructor applications into one version allowing reducing complexities of managing multiple apps for Instructors and Students, whilst providing greater levels of capabilities in respect to course engagement, assessment and grading as the mobile experience will continue to receive the same features being delivered to Learn Ultra. This results in an app that allows students and instructors to seamlessly move their learning experience from their desktop to mobile
and back. Impact should be minimal for Students with this change, as any student using the existing Blackboard app should simply update.

The Blackboard Instructor app will no longer be supported from Friday 30th September 2022, and will be removed from the Apple 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 and download the Blackboard app using the link here.
