[BB] A New Look & Feel for Blackboard Learn: What it means for you.

Dear faculty,

 

As we head into the new semester, we’ll be rolling out some exciting updates that will enhance your experience with Blackboard Learn (https://www.courses.miami.edu). These updates – featuring an updated look and feel, and a better mobile experience - will be available starting July 1st 2019

 

Here are some of the key improvements that you can expect to see:

 

·         Modern Look & Feel: With updated colors, fonts, and spacing, you’ll notice a more modern and visually appealing look and feel.

·         Consistency Across Your Devices: Expect a more uniform experience across all your devices, making it easier for you to switch from your laptop or computer to your phone or tablet.  

·         A Better Mobile Experience: With more tools and features optimized for your mobile browser, it’ll be easier for you to complete activities on-the-go from your phone or tablet. And, for quick and easy access to your courses, download the Blackboard Instructor app, available for iOS, and Android.
