Here are highlights of what\u2019s coming October 7th, for Ultra courses only.<\/p>\n<p>Ultra: Submission Receipt<br \/>\nThis new functionality provides students with a unique tracking number that confirms their academic submission. Students can copy and save this number as proof of their work, and evidence for academic disputes. A modal window with the tracking information will appear to students after they submit their work. They can also receive an email with that information, and download a similar text file to keep for their records.<\/p>\n<p>Rubric Criterion Increase<br \/>\nRubrics are grading tools that help instructors to assess student performance and give feedback in detail. Before, Ultra allowed a maximum of 10 columns and rows. To provide more flexibility for the grading processes, Blackboard now decided to increase the limit up to 15 columns and rows.<\/p>\n<p>Rich Text Editor improvements: Add table<br \/>\nFor deeper versatility in the Rich Text Editor, this 3rd milestone brings the Add Table functionality to our users. Tables are a common way for instructors and students to align and organize content in a customized manner, better suited to their own preferences.<\/p>\n<p>Additional details, including screenshots, may be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/Learn\/Administrator\/SaaS\/Release_Notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/Learn\/Administrator\/SaaS\/Release_Notes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>OWU Sponsoring Organization\/Office: Information Services<br \/>\nContact: David Soliday at <a href=\"mailto:helpdesk@owu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helpdesk@owu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each month, Blackboard releases feature updates and bug fixes for its flagship LMS service, Learn.
