Blackboard Ultra
Last Chance for Ultra Summer Training!
Summer Ultra training is winding down but there are still a few opportunities to learn.
 
Sessions this summer will have a 5-person minimum (they will not run unless at least 5 people register), so bring a friend or even get your whole department on board. Can't come this summer? We'll be offering more training when the Fall 2025 Term starts!

Blackboard Ultra: Learn the Lingo - Release Conditions 
One of the things that you’ll notice as you transition to Ultra is that some of the features of Original have different names in Ultra.
 
To reduce confusion over this new terminology, we have a summer series to help you learn the new lingo that comes along with the switch to Ultra. You may also find that some things function a bit differently or have some additional enhancements so we'll touch on that as well.
 
This week we'll be covering another name change: Adaptive Release is now Release Conditions. Head to the LT blog to learn more about using Release Conditions.

Why are jokes about pigs not funny? They're a little boar-ing.
