Hallo all The instructor app now has organisations which I'm sure we all welcome. Unfortunately, you are unable to create an announcement in a module on an i-pad. I informed Bb immediately on Friday but still there has been no fix! This was the view before the release. [cid:image003.png@01D36EB3.EFE0BA00] The Create button is no more. Anyone else with same issue?

As Melanie said, clicking Disagree takes you back to the logon screen. The actual terms seem surprisingly detailed for an end user - they look to me like the Ts & Cs we'd sign on behalf of our institution when we accept a Blackboard license. Scrolling down gives this type of information: [cid:image002.jpg@01D36EB3.824B2340] Text such as "You may use the Products only if you can form a binding contract with Blackboard" seems surprising for our students to see - this sounds a bit beyond compliance with GDPR. My account is a system administrator account - has anyone signed into the new app with a "real" student account yet? It would be useful to check if everyone is seeing this.

I think they will have to inform users that there data may be collected. Does it give an 'opt out' option? Many thanks, Rachael - GCU.

I am seeing 'Blackboard Terms of Use' which I must agree to if I wish to use the app. Am I right in thinking this is new? I don't remember seeing these before.
