Blackboard Ultra:

Easing the Transistion

Learn how Blackboard Ultra is similar to and different from our current version of Blackboard, the timeline for moving to Ultra, and the conversion process. The goal of the event is to reduce uncertainty and concerns, ultimately easing the transition for faculty.

This session includes a Blackboard Ultra tour from Dr. Kathryn Schild (UAA FD&IS), Dr. Kitty Deal's (UAA Kodiak College) experience transitioning her course, and a Q&A session with the speakers, instructional designers, and IT.
