Converting to Blackboard Ultra
Blackboard Ultra is the next generation learning management system experience designed
to make teaching simpler, more consistent, and more engaging for both faculty and
students. Built on the same Blackboard platform you already use, Ultra features a
cleaner interface, streamlined course design, and improved tools for communication,
grading, and accessibility—without requiring advanced technical skills.
The transition to Ultra will take place in phases:
- selected Spring 2026 Session 2 courses will move first,
- followed by all Summer 2026 courses,
- and then all Fall 2026 courses.
This phased approach allows faculty time to learn about the new environment, participate
in training and support opportunities, and prepare their courses confidently before
full implementation.
