This week, we announced the availability
of Blackboard Mobile Learn for Android, Blackberry and iPhoneOS, making the
mobile learning app available on the most popular smartphones devices.
Blackboard Mobile Learn, which was first announced for the iPad
in April, recreates the Blackboard learning experience for students and
teachers from anywhere. A lot of work went into the development of each of
these native applications and for a more detailed perspective on that process,
check out this recent blog post from Kayvon on The
Mobile Garage.
If you want to see these mobile apps in action, check out
these demos for Android,
BlackBerry
and iPhoneOS
. We’re really excited about these innovations and look forward to hearing
your thoughts on this blog and next month at BbWorld!

This is a wonderful attempt at a mobile app for Bb and a good first attempt. But the app will need to be much more robust before it is truly useful. For example, URLs are not active in Announcements; most content areas require “View in browser.” I look forward to the next iterations as they become more robust.

I would like to see the mobile app available on Android devices on other carriers (other than Sprint) since most Android devices run a similar platform already.
