Theme Learn 2016

With the July 2017 upgrade, there has been decided to give Blackboard  a new look and feel, by choosing for the Theme Blackboard Learn 2016.  At first glance, the new Blackboard design has different color, fonts and spacing.

In addition, the theme is to improve the use of the Blackboard website (uu.nl/Blackboard) on mobile devices. Many parts have become responsive or have gotten an improved experience. This means, when users log in to Blackboard Learn on a mobile device or tablet, screen elements compress or change position so they stay visible. As the screen gets smaller, modules and tool tiles stack so the user still has access to them at their fingertips.

Impact on organization courses:

With this new look and feel, because of the theme Learn 2016,  it isn’t possible anymore to change the text- and backgroundcolor of the menu in a course (customization > teachingstyle).
