From the 24/25 Academic Year, all modules delivered at the University of Lincoln will have their site in the new Blackboard Ultra format.

Importantly, this is Blackboard’s latest version of the VLE, and therefore Blackboard Ultra receives regular monthly updates with features and improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to present learning resources on Blackboard Ultra?

Ultra Document pages enable you to share a combination of different pieces of content in one place. Documents can be used to share files/documents within the page, and provide a space for text, images and embedded tools to be linked together to create learning activities for the students.
Since all of your resources are collected in one area, this makes navigation for the students much easier and also looks less cluttered within Blackboard compared to having an item for each piece of content. This is the best way to share your PowerPoints, files, videos, and links with appropriate contextualisation and instruction to transform these items into powerful learning activities.
To see examples of how Documents can be built, structured and formatted, see the guidance information built into Ultra templates in the area: ‘Blackboard Ultra guidance and support for Staff’.
