Blackboard Ultra Base Navigation (UBN) Coming Dec. 17

On Dec. 17, 2021, the campus LMS, Blackboard, will begin moving forward to Ultra, Blackboard’s new modern interface. On Dec. 17, the My Blackboard landing page will reflect this new interface, called Ultra Base Navigation (UBN). By default, courses will be unchanged and there will be no changes to course features or workflows. UBN is a modern, intuitive navigation that provides quick access to the most critical information from across all courses.   Instructors and students who have used Collaborate or downloaded the Blackboard app will see similarities, as they were both designed with the Ultra interface. A preview of UBN may be seen in these videos created by Blackboard Base Navigation, Instructor Overview | Blackboard or Base Navigation, Student Overview | Blackboard

Instructors with questions about Blackboard Ultra or who would like assistance using Blackboard are encouraged to contact the Faculty Center for Learning Development (FCLD) at (860) 768-4661 or fcld@hartford.edu.
