Fall 2023 Ultra Workshops
A newer, more modern version of Blackboard called Ultra Course View is currently being rolled out at the University of Hartford and the Office of Academic Technology, Teaching, and Learning over the next year. In spring 2025 all spring Blackboard courses will be created in Ultra. Faculty are encouraged to attend special Ultra training now so they can begin to transition their courses.
In-Person Ultra Workshops
The following in-person training sessions will be held in the Woods Classroom in Harrison Libraries on campus and lunch will be provided. Be sure to RSVP to atech@hartford.edu ahead of time so a sandbox can be created for you. We appreciate at least a week’s advance registration so we have a final number for lunches.
Session 1: Friday, Sept. 22, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Session 2: Friday, Nov. 10, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Virtual Ultra Workshops
Each of the following is a 2-part, 2-day, 2-hours each day, offered virtually on Microsoft Teams. Participants need to attend both parts one and two. Be sure to RSVP to atech@hartford.edu ahead of time so a sandbox can be created for you. A week in advance is best, but at a minimum, register 24 hours prior to the workshop.
Session 1: Monday, Oct. 23, and Wednesday, Oct. 25, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Session 2: Friday, Dec. 1, and Friday, Dec. 8, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.
