Blackboard Ultra Course is a new course view that offers a modern, intuitive, and
personalized interface. With a simplified workflow and an accessible, fully responsive
design, Ultra Course View will make it easier to teach and learn from any device. As
of the Spring 2025 term, all course sites at WKU will be in the Ultra course view.
What's new in Blackboard Ultra - Updates
Although Ultra Course View has been available since 2014, Anthology remains committed
to continuously enhancing Blackboard. Each month, new features are released, ranging
from significant functional updates to minor enhancements.
To help you stay up to date, CITL offers monthly Zoom workshops that review the latest
Ultra updates. Be sure to check the CITL event calendar for details.
Explore a number of resources to help you navigate Blackboard Ultra. Whether you are
a new user or looking for answers to common questions, you’ll find step-by-step guides,
video tutorials, and more.
Starting in the Spring 2025 term, all courses will transition to the Ultra Course
View. To ensure you are prepared, completing an Ultra training is required. The ITS: Blackboard Ultra Training is a completely self-paced training through ITS that focuses on the foundations for using our learning
management system and associated tools. To self-enroll in this training, you must log into Blackboard, select My WKU Bb and scroll down to the ITS: Blackboard
Ultra Training link. Clicking on the link will enroll you in the training that you
will then find within the Courses tab in the Blackboard menu. Without completing this training, you won’t be able to create a Backboard course site
for the Spring term.
