With the new Blackboard Learn Ultra virtual learning environment now out of the pilot phase, it’s time to prepare for the upcoming rollout of live modules. This will ensure your Learn Ultra content and learning tools are set up successfully before the new semester begins in September.
Blackboard staff training sessions will be held for course teams from May through to the end of July. The training will cover best practices for designing your modules in the new system, as well as hands-on experience in building your new Learn Ultra sites. A course team training session will last for around 3 hours. We highly recommend having as many course team members attend as possible to facilitate consistent decision-making across the course.
Here’s what to do next:
- Consult with your course team to identify a preferred week for training.
- Contact the TEL team, tel@worc.ac.uk, with the following information to book your session:
- Course that the training is for
- Module codes the team will be using
- Names and email addresses of attendees
The TEL team will then be in contact to confirm all the details, including which resources attendees should bring along, so that they can get started on creating their Ultra modules.
Be sure to book your training sessions early to reserve your preferred dates!
