Transition Process

Over the next few terms, College of DuPage will be migrating courses to the Ultra platform. Here, we share more about our expected timeline for this transition, the progress we’ve made so far, and faculty and student feedback on Ultra.  

Spring 2024 Ultra Pilot

This Spring, 15 faculty volunteers are piloting Ultra in 43 different courses from a wide range of disciplines. While there have been some pain points and some difficult hurdles, the response has been largely positive.  So far, students have been able to navigate without any major issues and faculty are learning as they go how to utilize the new features and organizational structure.

While some things are taking some getting used to (gradebooks, flattened course structure, using integrations) most users reported that the LMS was a much more user friendly, simple, and intuitive.

LT will be developing targeted training to assist with the most difficult parts of the Ultra transition based on the feedback we get from this pilot. We’ll be sharing additional responses to Ultra as the term goes on.
