Tips for Blackboard Ultra Courses

Blackboard Learn Ultra is the most modern, intuitive, and personalized Blackboard user experience. Learn Ultra is characterized by simplified workflows and an accessible, fully responsive design—making it easier than ever to teach and learn from any device. Navigate to the appropriate section below to find the guide or video you need, then click the + button to open it.

NOTE: Learning Modules are the primary container of choice in Blackboard Ultra and provide features that are not available in Folders.  Our recommendation is a Learning Module, with subfolders and content.  Think of Learning Modules as a filing cabinet drawer, and within that drawer, you have folders and then documents in those folders.  We only have three layers available and you cannot have subfolders within those folders.  For accessibility and usability purposes, all content should be accessible to students within three clicks.

A typical Learning Module may look like this:

Week 1 (Learning Module)

• Readings Lectures & Videos

  • Video

  • PowerPoint

  • Document

• Learning Activities

  • Quiz

  • Assignment

  • Discussion

  • Journal

How you organize your course is up to you, but be sure it is consistent so students can easily find content.
