Blackboard Sync is intended for students - it delivers course updates and information conveniently through the student's Facebook account, to their Toolbar or to their iPhone so that they can stay on top of their studies without having to go check their Blackboard account.

Blackboard Sync is available to all Facebook users that are also users at Blackboard client institutions, to owners of an iPhone or iPod Touch or to users of Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. Blackboard Sync requires an account on a Blackboard Learning System, Release 7.1 or higher, or Blackboard Learn, Release 9.0 or higher, system.

Blackboard Sync requires that all users be 13 years of age or older, and those users must be high school or college students.

Blackboard Sync may be used in any region where Facebook, iPhones, iPod touches or Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers are available. Please note, though: the interface for the Blackboard Learn for the Facebook Platform, the Blackboard Learn for iPhone applications and the Learn Toolbar are currently only available in English.
