We’re excited to offer a new course experience in Blackboard, available by request for any Spring ’19 course. It\u2019s Learn Ultra, a new course view that offers a streamlined, more intuitive interface and workflows.<\/p>\n

We’ve successfully tested it with a fall pilot of 11 faculty, 20 courses and over 200 students. One of the cohort, Shala Hankison, said, \u201cI would generally recommend Ultra, I like the format and much of it is very easy (or at least easier). I have had no complaints from students.\u201d<\/p>\n
