Blackboard to Present Exclusive Ultra Roadmap on Feb 21
Discover Ultra’s future: Join in person or virtually
Why Attend?
This roadmap presentation offers a deep dive into new development in Ultra over the next 3-6 months, impacting the way we teach, learn, and interact with our students using Blackboard. In addition to Instructional Technology staff support, the Blackboard team, representing client experience, product management, and Ultra migration, will be available to answer your questions. Continued feedback has helped shape Ultra's evolution since UMBC began its journey and contributes to our final milestone to migrate all courses to Ultra by the end of 2024.
We're offering exclusive perks for those who can join us in-person:
- Complimentary Lunch: Enjoy a simple lunch as you network with Blackboard, Instructional Technology, and UMBC colleagues.
- Free T-shirts, Notebooks, and Pens: Grab a small token of appreciation for your engagement and feedback.
Space for in-person attendance is limited. However, understanding the demands of academic schedules, we're also offering a virtual attendance option. This ensures that everyone interested can benefit from the valuable insights shared, regardless of physical location.
