In a recent survey of Ultra users last semester, faculty and students expressed satisfaction with Ultra. During the Fall 2022 semester, faculty increased their use of Ultra in greater numbers. The top five departments with the highest Ultra adoption included:
Theatre - 100%
Emergency Health Services - 95.45%
Modern Languages, Linguistics & Intercultural Communication - 86.76%

Education - 80%
Additionally, several programs including freshman composition and IHU courses have leveraged Ultra templates to deploy content across multiple course sections. Departments interested in using a customized Ultra template or receiving the UMBC Ultra template should open an RT ticket to consult with an Instructional Technology Specialist. Our staff will work with you to determine the next steps and design an appropriate timeline for your department to make the transition.
