You can use the Blackboard App to access your clickUP module while you are on the go.

## Installation instructions

1. Select the applicable app store for your mobile device ([Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackboard.android.bbstudent) for Android / [App store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blackboard-learn/id950424861) for iOS.)
2. Install the app
3. Search for your school: **clickUP** or **University of Pretoria**
4. Login with your UP portal/clickUP credentials : u+number on your UP staff card and your UP portal password.

## Teach with the Blackboard app

### Add or edit course content

What you see in the app is similar to what you see on a web browser. Open a course and tap the plus sign on the Content tab wherever you want to add content. From the app you can:

- import content
- edit Documents
- preview hidden or unavailable content (students don't see this content)
- change the visibility of content
- monitor student progress.

### Add tests or assignments

Students can submit tests and submit assignments in the Blackboard app. If a test isn't supported on mobile, students will see a message in the app that directs them to take the assessment in a desktop browser instead.

To create an assessment, open a course, go to the Content tab and tap the plus sign where you want to add an assignment or test.

### Interact with students

Send announcements to students or interact with students through discussions, journals, and course messages.

### Mark student submissions

Instructors and graders can review, annotate, grade, and publish the grades to students.
