Earlier Time! Aug. 17 @ 9 a.m. – Blackboard Staff Visit – Learn More and Get Free Swag

Thursday, Aug. 17, from 9 a.m. to noon, join us in Corns 315 to meet Anthology staff John Michael Roehm, M.Ed, Client Experience Manager, and Jonathan Hart, Solutions Engineer.

They will provide a demo of new and upcoming features and then be available for Q & A. There have been over 200 new features and enhancements added to the Ultra course view in the last year, and AI design assistance is coming this fall!

Did you know you can now mark assessments as formative, and filter the Gradebook accordingly, or use Complete/Incomplete as a grading scheme? How about clicking and dragging to resize images and videos? You can also manage your course duration in the new Course Settings panel. A hotspot question type and auto-captioning for recorded videos are coming soon! The AI integration will automatically generate learning modules, test questions, and rubrics, based on content already added to the course.

Learn about Anthology’s Trustworthy AI Framework, and how it gives control of the AI generation to us. No institutional data is used to train the AI, and it is not used in any grading workflows. There is also an audit trail and reporting. We will be making this available by request in September, for those who would like to try it.

If you’re still using the Original course view, now is the time to upgrade. It’s no longer a question of feature parity, and students prefer Ultra. The learning curve is not steep–the Ultra interface is a lot simpler than the Original. We can help you make the transition by creating a test copy of your course(s) in Ultra, and provide one-on-one coaching.

Come and ask the experts about our online LMS (Learning Management System) while they’re on campus!
