Learning Management System (Blackboard Ultra)

Pierre-Yves Vasener — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 14:27:15 +0000

Blackboard Ultra (formerly Blackboard Learn) is AUP’s web-based LMS (Learning Management System). Ultra provides AUP’s faculty with a centralized location for communicating learning objectives and course content to students, as well as creating unique activities like discussion groups, online collaborative environments, and recorded video lectures.

Faculty can structure and deliver text, audio, image and video-based content, link to Library resources, create assignments and exams, provide students with feedback, and grade students’ work, all within the Blackboard environment. Blackboard can be used on desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices such as phones and tablets.

Our installation of Blackboard Ultra also includes features like Respondus Lockdown Browser, for delivering exams securely, and TurnItIn, for plagiarism checking. Via TurnItIn, students can submit written assignments and have them checked automatically. Faculty can also access an external TurnItIn Portal for checking assignments that are not turned in through the LMS. Faculty can schedule one-on-one Blackboard training with Academic Technology, or request access to the TurnItIn Portal, by sending an email to ultrahelpaup.edu.
