What’s New in Ultra
One of the hallmarks of the Blackboard Ultra Experience is the speed with which new features are developed and released. In fact, new features become available every month! Some of these features are large updates with entirely new functionality, others are very small enhancements that improve the teaching and learning experience. The latest release of Learn SaaS was for March 2024. You can read the full release notes here.
Featured Update: Due Dates Not Required
Due dates are an important aspect of the teaching and learning process. In some scenarios, such as self-paced learning, an instructor may not want to apply a due date. To make the option for not having a due date more evident, Ultra has added a “No due date” option for Tests and Assignments.
