Tell meBlackboard's new system theme is responsive, allowing increased support for mobile devices and a variety of display sizes. When users log in to Blackboard Learn on a mobile device or tablet, screen elements such as the course menu and control panel compress or change position so they stay visible. As the screen gets smaller, modules and tool tiles stack so the user still has access to them at their fingertips. Depending on your device or display's size, as well as the course view (Ultra or Original), the menu will shift to different places. NOTE: At this time, we do not have a list of devices and specific menu behaviors. |
Ultra: Cell Phones & Small Tablets
Ultra is specifically designed for mobile devices. On a small device such as a phone, you can access the menu by clicking on the responsive menu icon, which is located in the upper left corner above the landing page in your course.
NOTE: By default, this landing page is set to Home Page, but it may say something different if you have changed it to another location in the course.
Laptops & Small Displaysthere are several menus available for an Ultra course.
- The hamburger icon in the top left will take you to the system navigation including Courses and Organizations
- The main menu bar is for your course. It includes Content, Calendar, Announcements, Discussions, Grades, and Analytics.
- Course Faculty is collapsible. It lists the instructor(s) in the course.
- Details & Actions is collapsible. It lists the tools available on the left menu of your course.
Beneath all of these menus, you will find your course content.
Original: Laptops & Small Displays
Original is not designed for mobile devices. It is best used on a desktop or laptop, but you may still experience issues with the course menu.
On larger devices, but not full displays, you expand the Original course menu by clicking on the blue bar. In some instances, the bar may turn gray.
The course menu does not automatically expand if you enlarge your browser window. This is a known issue and is targeted for a fix in SU2018.
