Blackboard Ultra Full Course View
Blackboard has been slowly changing into a new modern design. UTEP added Ultra-Navigation in 2019, giving everyone that clean and simple menu on the left. Now, Ultra Course View is available, and faculty have the option to upgrade their course entirely to the new modern course design. Students can visit the Blackboard for UTEP Students web page for video tutorials and helpful links. Instructors can visit the Blackboard for UTEP Faculty web page. Click on Original or Ultra to get help using either version. We encourage faculty to upgrade their course for the next semester.
