Ultra courses represent a new focus on improved workflows and deep integrations to support teaching and learning with a refreshing look. Ideal for instructors, TAs, and course builders who are new to Ultra, the orientation session focuses on a walkthrough of the new course interface featuring:
- A new and improved user experience with intuitive workflows.
- Simplified navigation that's accessible on any device -- including tablets and smartphones
- Convenient content creation wherever you want it -- just point and click
- Streamlined grading and embedded analytics
Attendees will receive information about training opportunities and how to access an Ultra Experience sandbox. Discuss the differences between course conversion and course redesign, and learn about other features exclusive to the Ultra Experience.
