About Module 4 : Module 4 is being released this week. This self-paced module is expected to take less than two hours and is focused on adding course content in the Ultra Course View. All Fall 2021 courses will be built using the Ultra Course View. 

You will be spending more time creating content and discovering new workflows in your sandbox course sites than learning from this Orientation course module. You have multiple sandboxes so that you can design more than one course simultaneously in the Learn Ultra Course View. 

Need Assistance with your Ultra Sandbox Courses? If you don’t see the sandbox courses in Ultra Course View in your Courses list (sandbox course names follow this formula: Ultra Sandbox #: Drake ID), please submit a Blackboard Site Creation request in the IT Service Portal. 

What’s Next: The end of the semester is a busy time so module 4 is the final module for the fall semester. In Spring 2021, likely late March, we will launch additional modules covering more advanced tools in Blackboard Learn Ultra Courses. 

This should allow you sufficient time to prepare your Fall 2021 courses in the Ultra Course View. In addition, a team of about 20 colleagues will be available for consultations around pedagogy and technology. 

Watch for more information in OnCampus in early spring.
