Can i access Blackboard from my mobile device? And what can i do with it?

Yes, you can access Blackboard using the browser on your mobile device, but most functionalities will not work due to the limitations of mobile devices. Instead, you should use the Blackboard Mobile Learn app available currently on the iTunes App Store for iPad, iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as on the Android Market, BlackBerry App World, and Palm webOS.
