Migrating to Ultra from Original
All semester courses are now offered in Ultra Course format only. If you prepared materials in the Original version of Blackboard, migrate your content to Ultra through our preferred process. Per the Center for Teaching Excellence, faculty who prepare their Ultra courses are eligible for receiving up to 4 hours of FQAS per course. Contact cte@matc.edu for details.
Some content types from Original 9.1 Courses are not supported in Ultra Courses or are organized differently. When you adopt the Ultra Course experience, you may need to edit or redesign content. To see an example of good course design in Blackboard Ultra, enroll in an Example Ultra Course.
