The app does not work with all content available in Blackboard. The app is best used for posting announcements, interacting with discussion boards and blogs and accessing documents and content items.
The app may not give access to all key learning and assessment activities in a Blackboard course. It is strongly recommended that staff continue to access Blackboard via a web browser on a computer for any of the following activities:
- Accessing collaboration tools (e.g. Wikis, Virtual classroom)
- Accessing Flash content (on iOS devices)
- Accessing the Grade Centre
- Accessing content from 3rd party systems available in Blackboard (e.g. Turnitin)
Staff should also be aware that downloading content to a mobile device may incur data costs from service providers. We recommend that care be taken, especially when accessing media files. We encourage staff to take advantage of UQ’s wireless connectivity where available.
