Blackboard Ultra Logo

To better support teaching and student learning, William Paterson University has committed to upgrading Blackboard, the university’s Learning Management System, by gradually transitioning from Blackboard Original to Blackboard Ultra, the next generation of Blackboard site and course experiences. The first step of this transition is to enable the Ultra Base Navigation, which was completed in May 2022. The next step is to change from Original Course View to Ultra Course View and to convert Original courses to Ultra courses. This page is to help the university community successfully complete this transition.


What is the Blackboard Ultra Experience?

The Ultra Experience is the next generation of Blackboard site and course experiences. It delivers a modern, intuitive, and fully responsive interface, streamlined workflows and capabilities, and a more seamless transition between mobile and desktop.

Blackboard User Experiences

Blackboard has two user experiences – Base Navigation and Course View - and two user interfaces and workflows – Original and Ultra. Currently, WP deploys Ultra Base Navigation and Original Course View. The next step of our phased transition is to gradually shift from our current format to Ultra Base Navigation and Ultra Course View.
