How do I find the Blackboard course menu on a mobile device?



Tell me

Depending on your device or display's size, as well as the course view (Ultra or Original), the menu will shift to different places. 



Ultra: Cell Phones & Small Tablets

Ultra is specifically designed for mobile devices. On a small device such as a phone, there 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.
