Ultra Feedback Survey
Throughout the journey to Ultra, we have asked faculty to fill out a survey about their experiences with Blackboard Ultra.
Faculty have described Ultra as clean, easy, and intuitive in comparison to Original.
Connar Franklin
Instructor, UA Early College“For me, the two biggest advantages of Blackboard Ultra are the ease by which you can add student accommodations and release certain content/assignments for individual students. Even for a small class, being able to apply an extended time accommodation for all assignments in a course for a student was a huge time saver! The interface is super intuitive and, once I got it figured out, was much more user-friendly than the old Blackboard.”
Dr. Armen Amirkhanian, P.E.
Associate Professor, College of Engineering“Ultra is a huge improvement over the existing Blackboard version. The students appreciate the easier navigation and there are significant improvements in the gradebook and retention systems. You also can assign achievement badges to really get students engaged during the course.”
Jennie Northam
Clinical Instructor, Info Systems/Statistics/Mgt Science“Blackboard Ultra has truly transformed how I am able to efficiently collect data and gather statistics to ensure that my course is successful while supporting high academic integrity. When transitioning from Blackboard Original to Blackboard Ultra, it at first seemed overwhelming, however, the CIT Blackbord Cafe Days played a substantial role in the ease of this transition. I find the platform to be much more instructor friendly, allowing me to easily customize the experience each student has while enrolled in my course.”
