You will have received an email from IT Services Messages on 8th July informing you that 2025/26 Modules are now available in Blackboard Ultra. As you know, we have upgraded to Blackboard Ultra, offering a variety of enhanced features and an improved user experience.

All modules taught in the academic year 2025/26 will be hosted on Blackboard Ultra from the beginning of that academic year. It is now time to migrate your teaching materials to the 2025/26 Blackboard Ultra module. Please complete this migration by Monday 25th August so there is time to provide you with support if needed.

The above deadline is for migrating your Semester 1 modules and your year-long modules. Semester 2 modules can be migrated at a later date.

Everything you need to know about migrating your teaching materials to the 2025/26 Blackboard Ultra live modules is available on this page: Preparing your Modules for Migration

Your colleagues in Teaching & Learning IT have also provided helpful resources on this page: Blackboard rollover guide for the new academic year 2025/26

If you have yet to complete your Blackboard Ultra training, visit the Blackboard Ultra website and complete the training as soon as possible.

Further information is available on the Blackboard Ultra Upgrade website.

If you have any queries, please contact blackboard.ultra@tcd.ie.
