About Module 6: This newly released self-paced module is expected to take about 2–3 hours and is focused on the most widely used Ultra Course View features. This Module will start a new layout where you will see our suggested route of learning features, but you can still choose your own learning path if there are features you don’t plan to use. You can always return to this course and review features you don’t need for the Fall 2021 switch to Ultra Course View for all courses.  

Activities included in the training encourage you to practice using the newly learned features in your sandbox courses. As you learn your way around the Ultra Course View, the sandboxes provide you with a student-free working space where you can begin developing and designing courses in the new look and feel. If you build things you want to use in the fall, remember that you can copy items from course to course, or copy entire courses for future semester offerings (reusing content was covered in Module 5). 

Need assistance with your Ultra sandbox courses? 
If the sandbox courses in Ultra course view are not showing in your Courses list, please request assistance by submitting a Blackboard Site Creation request in the IT Service Portal. 

What’s Next? 
Next week, Module 7 will be released, and it will introduce attendance, grading and feedback, and touch on analytics for instructors in the Ultra Course View.
