Activity Stream

Course Content

Course Content in the Blackboard App looks similar to the browser version. 

Selecting Course in the main menu will display all of your courses. Change the view by tapping the chevron at the top of the page next to Current.

Within the app, you can see folders, documents, assessments, and all the other items posted in your course. 

Most file types (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF) will open inside the Blackboard app. Content that is not supported inside the app will open in a browser window. 

In addition, Blackboard Ally allows you to generate alternative file formats for course content to make it more accessible. 

 

Assignments in the Blackboard App differ depending on whether your course is in Original format or Ultra format. Those differences are noted below. 

Steps for submitting assignments

1. Find the assignment in the Activity Stream, in Due Dates in the main menu, or inside the course.
2. Read the assignment details.
   • In Original format, assignment instructions show after you begin an attempt.
   • In Ultra format, instructions show before you begin an attempt. 
3. Tap Start Attempt, and complete the assignment.
4. If required, tap Add Content.
   • In Original format, choose Add Text to type text to submit with your assignment. Choose Add File to attach a file from your computer or the cloud. Tap the plus sign to add more files or text, or the trash can to delete an attachment.

Not all test questions are compatible with the Blackboard App. For best results, complete assessments in a browser on a laptop or desktop. 

If a test is not supported in mobile, you will see a message directing you to take the assessment on a desktop, instead. 

Steps for Completing Tests and Quizzes 

Tests in the Blackboard App differ depending on whether your course is in Original format or Ultra format. Those differences are notated below.

Select Insert Files to take a picture or video or browse your computer or the cloud for an image or a file.

Grades 

Select Grades on the main menu to see your overall grades for all of your courses. If your instructor has set up overall grades in your course, you  will see a letter grade, percentage, or point total. Tap a course grade to see your graded work.

Feedback

Your instructor may provide feedback on your assignments and tests. In Ultra, feedback can include text, attached files, multimedia, and inline grading notes on files you have submitted. In Original, feedback is plain text only, and is not all available in the app. Access your course on a desktop browser to see all feedback.
