Students looking for an improved mobile experience with HuskyCT are encouraged to try Bb Student! The new mobile app from Blackboard boasts a sleek, modern interface and was designed specifically for students. Since its arrival in June 2015, the app has matured and now offers many of the features included in the original Mobile Learn app (currently bundled with myUConn). Best of all, it’s compatible with more devices, including iOS, Android and Windows smartphones.
Here are just a few of the many features (taken from blackboard.com):
- Activity stream, due date list and push notifications
- Take tests/quizzes
- Complete, submit and review assignments
- View course grades, including individual test and assignment grades
- Participate in discussions
- Seamless integration with Collaborate Ultra (video conferencing)
- Attach assignment files from Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive
UConn students are encouraged to download and install the latest version of Bb Student (2.3) from the App Store, iTunes or Windows Store. [more details]
