Blackboard Ultra News & Training
We're excited to share the latest updates and enhancements to Blackboard Ultra for the month of February. These improvements are designed to enhance your teaching and learning experiences.
Key Updates:
- Content Design - Change Folders to Learning Modules and Learning Modules to Folders.
- Improved Grading Experience - The grading interface has been updated to focus more on the submission, making grading easier for those using smaller screens. Additionally, grades entered from the Gradebook will now be mapped to the submission, removing those items from the "needs grading" status.
