Hey Dominic
Could the students just change their notification settings for courses about which they don't wish to receive notifications?

Bit of an effort for each student but should get them the result they want.
Cheers

Subject: Blackboard Mobile - Managing notifications from earlier semesters
Good Afternoon All,
At UCB we have had feedback from our student cohort via the main subject boards, that students who are using the Blackboard Mobile app are becoming frustrated by receiving notifications sent to them from modules that have been taught on and completed within earlier semesters. Its practice at UCB, to enrol students on both semester 1 and semester 2 modules for the whole of the academic year, however students are becoming irritated by receiving notifications from our Blackboard Learn environment from modules they have completed in semester 1, even though these modules may still be active for other cohorts.
We are therefore wondering if any other institution has a similar practice to this and has experienced a similar view from students, and if so is there anyway of being able to manage these notifications either via the app or via the Learn environment without turning off the notifications all together?
many thanks
Dominic
