What's New in Version 3.0

New:
• Push Notifications* - Now Mobile Learn can let you know when activities you care about (like new announcements, tests being available or due, grades being posted and more) occur in your courses.
• Mobile Tests* - Now you can take mobile-compatible tests on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via our beautiful new test-taking interface. You can use Mobile Learn for tests that include Multiple Choice, Short Answer, Fill in the Blank(s), Hot Spot, and True/False questions. We can't make tests any easier, but they'll definitely be more fun and convenient!

(*Features available only if your institution has updated to the latest Blackboard software. If you aren't able to access Push Notifications or Mobile Tests, your institution may not be running Blackboard Learn 9.1. Don't sweat-- once it is, you'll get Push Notifications if you've enabled them in the app.)

Improved:
• You can now enjoy a beautiful and crisp high-resolution retina interface on your new iPad!
• If your institution doesn't yet support Mobile Learn, it's easier than ever to be notified as soon as they do - Mobile Learn will send you a push notification. Just search for your institution, and select the Notify option.*

Fixed:
• This release includes a variety of fixes to increase reliability, stability and usability.

Customer Reviews

Nice new features (5 stars)
Haven't really gotten a chance to explore everything but I just got a notification to my home screen about a test being posted to my course in Blackboard. This is awesome. The description says that we will be able to take mobile compatible tests which is pretty excellent since I have been trying to access them through my safari browser and it hasn't been working. All in all Blackboard looks like they are making a conscious effort to make thi

Surprisingly good (5 stars)
I was a little skeptical about how this would work on an iPad, but it has been really helpful.

I can flip through all the PDFs, power points, notes, etc. for all my classes far more fluidly than through the web interface. Also works for watching lectures, etc.

And free!

I like it but... (4 stars)
This is a great app for my school and works on both my phone and iPad. The new update has a bug for the discussion boards however and needs to be fixed ASAP!
