Support during the transition to Blackboard Ultra

Ultra Guidance

We are updating our guidance to account for Ultra. Some of the places where you can find guides that include Ultra at the moment: Blackboard, Getting started with Ultra, Blackboard screencasts, Assignment Planning, Assignment Workflows, Blackboard Tests. Subscribe to our blog for updates on new functionality.

Ultra Ready

A great opportunity to experience Ultra as a learner and get used to the interface in this in-depth resource which guides you through topics such as building content, adding interactivity, and encouraging discussion and collaboration. Log in to Blackboard and self-enrol in Ultra Ready.

Ultra Workshops

We have developed workshops to help you get started with Ultra, tailored for academic and professional services staff. These short workshops will show you the basics of Ultra and carrying out key tasks. Advice on Ultra is also available in the DEO daily drop-ins.
