What is Blackboard Ultra?

Blackboard Ultra is a next-generation learning management system (LMS) designed to enhance the online and hybrid learning experience for both students and faculty. It offers a more intuitive, mobile-friendly interface, improved accessibility and collaboration tools, and enhanced assessment and grading capabilities.


The Migration Timeline

Upgrading to Blackboard Ultra will provide a more user-friendly interface and improved functionality, as well as easier access to course content and tools. During the migration process, all course content and data will be transferred to the cloud-based SaaS, followed by the enabling of the new base navigation and Ultra Course View. The transition will require some training for faculty to become familiar with the new features and functionalities.
