Blackboard (Ultra) - Rise and Storyline not launching responsively

Apr 21, 2020

Hi all.

I'm trying desperately to get a functional LMS  and eLearning experience. I am working with our staff who manage Blackboard, but they are not fully conversant with it. When they are deploying the SCORM packages for Storyline, they are not launching in a responsive fashion. They are landscape orientated but will only display on the mobile devices in portrait and there is no responsiveness if the phone is re-orientated to landscape.

While they are waiting assistance from Blackboard, has anyone got the or a solution on how we get it working so it is responsive and also relays grades back to the grade centre? 

Thanks heaps.

Hey there, Shaun!

While I don't have experience with Blackboard, I'll do my best to help!

A few quick questions and areas to explore:

  • Does Blackboard offer a mobile app?
  • To experience the responsive content that Storyline 360 and Rise 360 create, they must be accessed by an application that supports HTML5. 
  • Are you comfortable with sharing access to the affected courses in Blackboard with our Engineers? If so, you can connect with them through this private link. We'd love to help you test in those environments!

Hello team and thank you for your fast response.

Regarding the questions you ask;

1. Yes, there is an app associated with Blackboard Ultra - this is where we are finding the issues, not the desktop setting.
2. I am not certain of HTML5, I would imagine so...

I will have our tech person trying to work it out reply by your private link as she is working on it. Her name is Sharon Kneller-Lawson - SharonKneller.LAWSON@police.wa.gov.au

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Kind Regards,

We'll look out for Sharon's email, and I hope you get good advice from Blackboard's team. In the meantime, hopefully folks using the same platform can share their experience!
