Push notifications pop up on your mobile device for course events. Just swipe from the notification to view the content. Push notifications are generated in Ultra courses only for newly created discussions and replies to your posts. While logged in to Blackboard on a web browser, you can control which push notifications pop up on the mobile device where you have Blackboard Instructor installed.
Push notifications for Original courses aren't supported in the Blackboard Instructor app.
