Every month, the Blackboard Ultra Champions group meets to discuss topics related to supporting those who are making the switch to Blackboard Ultra. This group is made up of Blackboard Ultra users who share ideas and questions with the goal of supporting all users across the college. From time to time, we will share sections of those recorded meetings. Today’s meeting focused on the area of setting up assignments in Blackboard Ultra. Here is a 20-minute section of that meeting demonstrating some of the nuances of grading and assignment set up. Click on the image below to access that recording.

Join us at the BUS Stop following the welcome-back BBQs

Many of you are thinking about transitioning to Blackboard Ultra in the not-too-distant future, perhaps even this Fall. To provide you with some additional help before the term starts, we will be holding a BUS (Blackboard Ultra Support) Stop event for faculty needing some specific support.

Think of it as a bit of social: Go to the BBQ, then drop by the BUS Stop for dessert and conversation with your peers about Blackboard Ultra. Have some pressing questions you need answered? Pop by! Cathy Mills (Sport Science instructor and BB Ultra Faculty Liaison) and the Learning Designer team will be there to review your questions, and give you some solid advice on how to move forward.

Here are the details:

BUS Stop: Coquitlam campus, room B2250; August 29, 1:30-3:00pm.

BUS Stop: New West campus, Lower Café/Douglas Room (N1200); August 31, 1:30-3:00pm.

And, even if you feel good to go, drop by for some dessert and a chat anyway. We’d love to hear how your transition to Ultra went.
