From 9 August, Blackboard will be changing to ‘Ultra Base Navigation’ which will mean that Blackboard navigation will look a bit different, find out more about the changes…
What is Ultra Base Navigation?
Ultra Base Navigation (UBN) changes the way you navigate Blackboard before you enter a module or organisation.
The UBN has a modern and simple layout that is designed to re-size for mobile devices and improves accessibility.
Benefits
- Modern, intuitive experience
- Responsive on mobile devices
- Consolidated cross-course information
- Quick access to the most critical information
- One-click to take action
What’s new and different?
- The Navigation Panel has moved to the left-hand side of the screen to give quick access to the most used features.
- The Activity Stream notifies users about upcoming events, recent activity, or new content in your modules.
- The layout in the Courses and Organisations pages makes it easier to navigate and find your modules. You can search, filter and favourite.
- Schools / Department Tabs (Portal pages) are being replaced. All this content for students can now be found in dedicated Organisations.

Please note: your modules and organisations will not change, they will look and operate exactly as they do now.
