[nabs-l] quick question about blackboard

I would like to put in a quick recommendation for the Blackboard Mobile app. If you are using an iPhone or iPad, this app gives you access to many, though not all, of the features of Blackboard. It will send you push notifications when an announcement is posted in one of your classes, and you can check your grades on the app. You can also submit files from Dropbox, post messages to discussions, and view assignments. It says you can also take mobile friendly tests, but I have never tested this. 
My two cents,
