Students now have a way to check grades, view assignments and post to discussions on Blackboard using their phone or mobile device. Through a partnership between the IT Division and Student Government, the Blackboard Mobile app is available at no charge to NDSU students and faculty.
The app features a set of text-based menus that students or instructors can use to access class and organization information from anywhere they have smartphone data access.
Nancy Lilleberg, manager of instructional services, said the app will be a benefit to many students. “We are always looking for ways to help the students succeed and making Blackboard more accessible fits in well with that goal,” she said.
Blackboard Mobile is available in the app store of most major devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry and Palm. More information is available at www.ndsu.edu/its/blackboard-mobile.
