Blackboard Learn Ultra Insights #2 – Ultra Document pages in Organisations

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

What are Ultra Documents?

Ultra Documents are a new feature in Blackboard Ultra which you can think of as similar to a web page within your course. They allow you to present a variety of related material on one page. For example, you could add images and text structured in a table to introduce your School’s contact and office hours information:

What are the benefits of Ultra Documents?

  • Create engaging materials directly within your Organisations.
  • Promote inclusivity and accessibility. Ultra documents are scalable and scrollable, easy to navigate on any device, and create a seamless viewing experience where text, image and video are presented together within a single webpage.
  • Use a familiar text editor with common features such as text formatting, adding links and images.
