Blackboard is the William Paterson University’s Learning Management System. Blackboard Ultra is the systems’ most significant change and improvement in terms of functionality and user experience in recent years. To better support teaching and student learning at WPU, the university has begun the gradual transition from Blackboard Original to Blackboard Ultra. The first step of this transition is to enable the Ultra Base Navigation, which we activated in May 2022. The next step is to transition from Original Course View to Ultra Course View, which is to be completed by fall 2023. This page is to help the university community smoothly and successfully complete this transition.
What is Blackboard Ultra Experience?
Blackboard Ultra is a new user interface that allows students to access the same content that could be created by instructors in the Blackboard Original experience but now with revised and streamlined features.
The Ultra Base Navigation (the left toolbar shown on the first page after completing login) is an Ultra feature that has already been implemented for all William Paterson students. The Ultra Course View is still being gradually implemented, but all courses will be converted to Ultra Course View by the start of the Fall 2023 Semester. See the images and video below for further reference.

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 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.
Introduction to Blackboard Learn with the Ultra Experience for Students
In Blackboard Learn, base navigation is a user interface and the experience a user has outside of a course. The Ultra Base Navigation, which was enabled in May 2022 at WPU, is a new and modern user interface and experience in Blackboard Learn Ultra and a new way of navigating Blackboard.
