Blackboard Mobile Pilot

Southside Virginia Community College, in conjunction with the other Virginia Community Colleges, is participating in a pilot of Blackboard Mobile Learn. Blackboard Mobile Learn is a way for you to access Blackboard from anywhere using any capable device, including iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Blackberry, and Palm Smartphones. You will not be able to design a course on your iPad or other mobile device, but it does make viewing your course content, adding announcements, working on the discussion board, and sending email through Blackboard much easier and user friendly. If you have one of these devices or other capable device, I would appreciate you trying out this application. At the end of the pilot, I am going to ask for some feedback to give to the VCCS as they consider purchasing this. (The pilot ends June 15th.)

To use this application, you will need to install the app on your device and since we are piloting this you will need to input an access code into your device. The code is noted below, but before you get rolling, please complete this VERY brief survey first. There are only a few questions, so this should not take more than a few minutes...completely painless.
