Blackboard Mobile Learn at IIT

The Office of Provost is pleased to announce that, in conjunction with the university iPad program, all fall 2010 IIT classes will have a mobile web page through Blackboard Mobile Learn.

The Blackboard Mobile Learn amazing application brings the Blackboard teaching and learning tools to a mobile device, giving students and faculty access to their courses wherever they are. Students can view their class announcements and grades and use collaborative tools such as blogs, journals and discussion boards. Blackboard’s unique two-way teaching and learning system also allows faculty to view and update their course content remotely.

The Blackboard Mobile Learn app is available for download now on iTunes for the iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch, on the Android Marketplace for Sprint Android phones, and for Sprint Blackberry phones via direct download. Visit here for links to download the app to any of the devices listed above.

At IIT we believe that mobilizing education will foster a life-long learning environment for our students. Introducing Blackboard Mobile Learn is just the first step in this exciting transformation.
