A simpler, more modern Blackboard is here! UA instructors can now explore—and teach with—Blackboard Learn Ultra Course View. CIT and OTIDE have established a goal of having all courses designed and delivered in “Ultra” by Spring 2026. See Ultra for yourself and find out what you need to do to prepare.

This session is offered as part of The Center for Instructional Technology’s 2024 Spring Faculty Prep Days on Jan. 8 & 9. Join CIT for two days of workshops and one-on-one technical and pedagogical assistance to get you ready for the Spring semester.
