📚 Blackboard Ultra Pilot
In December 2021, the University upgraded to Blackboard Ultra Basenav, a major upgrade for the layout of the system, however, it left the structure of courses untouched. In the 2023/24 academic year, we will begin piloting the Blackboard Ultra Course View update which brings significant design changes to courses. The pilot will consist of a small team of instructors in the fall of 2023 to migrate select courses and develop an INTEL workshop experience to onboard faculty and set them up for success. In the spring semester of 2024 we will launch an open pilot for any instructor that wants to migrate to the new course design. The plan is to be fully on Blackboard Ultra Course View for the entire institution in the Fall of 2024.
