Blackboard Bets on Mobile Future

Blackboard announced that it would release new applications for iPhones and other mobile devices. The course-management-software provider already offers applications for iPhones and Blackberry phones but does not allow students to check grades, add comments to discussion boards, or use other features of its Learn product from those applications. Company officials say the forthcoming applications will let students and professors access just about all of the services of its course-management system from mobile devices.
