Mobile – Blackboard @ UVM – Known Issues and Updates

Mobile Learn app displays grades incorrectly

Problem: Students using the “Mobile Learn” app may see scores represented incorrectly.

Solution: Students should use the Blackboard app, and uninstall the Mobile Learn app. Mobile Learn is no longer supported.

Can’t open assignment files in Bb Grader app

Problem: When viewing an assignment in the Bb Grader mobile application, assignments are not displayed, and attempting to open them in a different application results in no action.

Solution: UVM does not yet support inline grading of assignments. This means that assignments will need to be downloaded and graded within the web interface on a laptop or desktop computer, in a supported browser.

Resolved: Bb Grader mobile app won’t connect

Problem: Blackboard has released a new mobile application that allows instructors to enter grades via an iPad or tablet. However, connecting to UVM via this application does not currently work.

Solution: UVM does not yet support mobile grading using this application. This is expected to change sometime in mid-December, however there is no guarantee that this timeline is accurate. In the meantime, instructors can grade assignments and other student work via the standard web interface in a supported browser. Please note that Blackboard is not the official place for final grade submission – final grades must be entered into the Registrar’s system.
