"Review Status" for Blackboard Content

The Review Status tool allows you to track whether students have reviewed specific content items. Once the you enable the tool for an item, each student may tracks their progress. A Mark Reviewed button appears on the item when the student opens the Content Area. After reviewing the item, the student may select this button to mark it Reviewed. You can check the status of student reviews on the User Progress page.

The Blackboard Mobile App for students does not support review status.  Students will not see an option to review status when using the mobile app.  This feature does work on mobile web browsers.
