Dear Client,

Welcome to the world of mobile teaching and learning. We are excited you have chosen to bring Blackboard Mobile™ Learn to your institution.

Your faculty and students soon will have instant access to their courses, content, and organizations while on the go. Students will be able to complete course work, check grades, and interact with their instructors from virtually anywhere, at anytime over Wi-Fi or on Sprint’s 3G/4G network – all at no additional cost to your institution, thanks to our partnership with Sprint and their commitment to foster mobile learning in higher education.

To help you rollout Blackboard Mobile Learn to your institution, we created the Mobile Learn Adoption Kit, a comprehensive set of planning and promotion tools available for download blackboard.com/mobilekit.
