February Mobile App Updates: iPhone X Optimization & Collaborate Course Integration

Hi all - I’m pleased to announce the availability of the latest release for both the Blackboard and Blackboard Instructor apps. Here are the highlights:

• iPhone X Optimization (Blackboard and Blackboard Instructor): iPhone X users now havean updated user experience while using both the Blackboard and Blackboard Instructor apps.  We’ve updated the navigation, buttons, and content to provide a more overall engaging user experience.

• Collaborate Course Integration (Blackboard and Blackboard Instructor): Have a Collaborate session scheduled in a course, but can’t remember when it starts?  You can now view and join Collaborate sessions directly from your courses. This deeper integration with Collaborate provides users with an easier way to engage. All you need to do is tap on the Collaborate tool, select the session, and you’ll instantly join the virtual classroom.
