A newer, more modern version of Blackboard called Ultra Course View is currently being rolled out at the University of Hartford and the Office of Academic Technology, Teaching, and Learning over the next year. In spring 2025 all spring Blackboard courses will be created in Ultra. Faculty are encouraged to attend special Ultra training now so they can begin to transition their courses.
We have three more in-person offerings for the fall semester and six virtual offerings:
The following in-person trainings will be held in the Woods Classroom in Harrison Libraries on campus and lunch will be provided. Be sure to RSVP to actech@hartford.edu ahead of time so a sandbox can be created for you. We appreciate at least a week’s advance registration so we have a final number for lunches.
