Qwickly is found on the Blackboard Home page, at the top of the left column.
The Qwickly tool lets faculty easily change the availability of course sites, create an announcement and place it in one or more course sites at once, and send an email message to one or more course sites.
Qwickly is found on the Blackboard Home page, at the top of the left column. UM acquired the site license for Blackboard Mobile Learn about two weeks ago. Usage is increasing with more than 2,000 people using it since the beginning of the semester. This graph shows logins by hour of the day and indicates that between 1:00 am and 7:00 am usage is low, hopefully due to people resting. If you would like to see all the statistics, go to http://goo.gl/hcVht With the Blackboard Mobile Learn app you can access your course sites on Blackboard from your smart phone or tablet. The University has purchased a site license for this product, so everyone at UM can install it and use it. For more information on Blackboard Mobile Learn, and links to all the apps, go to http://goo.gl/6hqVc. The picture has been changed on the Blackboard login selection page. It now shows the new Split U located in front of the University Center. The login selection page is where you indicate whether you are logging in with your CaneID or a special Blackboard account. The spring 2013 courses will be added to the Blackboard system during the day on Monday, November 12, 2012. All teaching assignments and enrollments that have already been made will also be processed. On Monday night the system will begin processing updates every evening.
To view the courses, click on the "Courses" tab at the top of your Blackboard page. They won't be available in "My Current Courses" until December 18th 2012. Enter Student View In order to experience your Blackboard sites as a student experiences them, go to the "Course Management" portion of the menu bar on the left, open the "Course Tools" section, and click on the (NEW!) "Student View" link. You can then check the grades, submit an assessment, take a quiz, and anything else that a student can do in the course site. This is a great way to see what the student sees and do what the students can do. (Click on image for larger view.) Exit Student View To exit Student View, click on the "Faculty View" link at the bottom of the course/organization menu bar. This is the only link that is present when you are in Student View, but is not there for a normal student. (Click on image for larger view.) UPDATE 1/14/2013: The University of Miami has acquired the site license for Blackboard Mobile Learn.
Blackboard has changed the licensing for Blackboard Mobile Learn. The free version is no longer available. They have two pricing models. One has individuals paying for it. The other has the institution paying for a site license. A site license has been proposed for the University of Miami. Unless/until that is approved, paying the fee personally is your only option at this moment. If a site license is purchased, it will be effective from that date. No refunds will be provided to people who purchased individual copies. The EARLIEST the site license could be active appears to be summer 2013. |
