BB Better Layout for Adamson by Duke Hsu

BB Better Layout is a Chrome extension designed to make Blackboard Ultra easier and more comfortable to use for students.

The extension improves the existing Blackboard interface without replacing it. Course information remains on Blackboard website, while the extension reorganizes the page and adds convenient navigation tools directly in the browser.

Key features:

• A clean vertical navigation bar that makes better use of screen space
• Simplified course banners for faster course identification
• An improved grid layout for the Courses page
• A back-to-top button for long course pages
• Multiple reading themes, including Nord Snow, Paper, Sage, Sky, and Lavender
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts for common Blackboard pages and course search

BB Better Layout for Adamson does not collect passwords, authentication credentials, grades, assignment submissions, or personal communications. Course-page content needed for layout improvements is processed locally in the browser and is not sent to the developer.

This is an independent student project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially supported by Adamson University, Anthology, or Blackboard.
