Welcome to the Blackboard Ultra Upgrade

Blackboard Ultra Upgrade 

This upgrade is taking place to further enhance the LMS user experience for both students and staff. It offers improved usability and accessibility, enhanced features and functionality, improved analytics and reporting, enhanced collaboration and communication, and a modern mobile-friendly design.  

All modules will be hosted on Blackboard Ultra for the academic year 2025/26. To support a smooth transition, we have created a dedicated website for all VLE guides for staff and students. 

We will collect and share details of your training progress, migration preparation, and 2025/26 teaching module preparation with your School management and the Blackboard Ultra Upgrade project team, so you can be contacted for further information and reminders as necessary. 

Find project updates from the Senior Lecturer and Dean of Graduate Studies on the project news and updates page.
