Communication Tools
Communication Tools within an Ultra Module are:
- Announcements – Share module announcements with all students.
- Messages – Communicate directly with individuals, groups, or the entire class through Blackboard's internal messaging system.
- Discussions – Create, organise, and manage discussion forums for meaningful student interaction.
- Journals – Set up private spaces for student reflection and instructor feedback, both graded and ungraded.
- Conversations – Enable content-specific discussions to support collaborative learning tied to course materials.
Journals
Journals are a private space between you and the instructor of the module. In Journals, you can share thoughts and ideas about module materials. Students can also use journals as a self-reflective tool. Your instructor can reply to your journal entries with comments and feedback. Other students cannot see the entries you make in a module journal.
