We are beginning the process of transitioning to Blackboard Ultra. You’ll find the workflow and aesthetic to be simpler and cleaner for both you and your students. Here’s our project timeline:
- Spring 2024- Blackboard will be on campus to demo/ information session at in-service!
- Summer 2024- Work to convert volunteer/ early adopting faculty’s courses to Ultra
- Fall 2024- Launch first Ultra pilot live for early adopting faculty courses; work to convert more subject/ departments to ULTRA for Spring 2025
- Spring 2025- Launch remaining pilot courses; convert the remainder of courses for use in Summer and Fall courses
We are SO THANKFUL for our early adopters, who will be recieving training and coaching starting in March:
- Nursing (all NUR courses)
- Allied Health (all AHS courses)
- Child Development
- Environmental Science Technology
- Occupational Health and Safety
Instructors in these areas should now have access to their Fall 2024 shells WAY ahead of time, so that we can convert those to Ultra, train, explore and build. Training is coming in March 2024! Funds have been secured for live training from Blackboard Ultra experts, who will also help us convert our existing course content to the Ultra look and feel.
If you have any questions, or would like to get on the next early adopters list, email the Director of Online Learning (Sarah Brown) at [email protected]
Good things, big times! 🙂
