<Title>Deeper Feedback Options &amp; Anon Discussions in Ultra</Title>
<Tagline>Improvements to grade calculations with BigFraction update</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The April update to Ultra features several enhancements designed to improve the teaching and learning experience. This update, driven by user feedback from UMBC and the broader global community, expands the platform's capabilities to meet the evolving needs of faculty and students. It includes a range of new features such as improved feedback mechanisms, streamlined assessment creation, enhanced course navigation tools, and AI-assisted course design. These changes aim to provide instructors with more intuitive and efficient tools to support their teaching efforts while ensuring students have essential access to course content and assessment outcomes.<div><br></div>
    <div>Additionally, t<span>he software library used to perform calculations in calculated columns and the overall course grade <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47871" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">changed to BigFraction</a>. When calculating an average of three assessments, BigFraction will properly calculate whereas the former software library, BigDecimal, would round down. The new software library ensures calculations compute as expected. </span><div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Feedback Improvements</strong></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Instructors can now <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47866" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">provide contextual feedback per student on all question types</a>. Students can access both overall feedback and question-specific feedback after grades are posted.</li>
    <li>Students can now <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47831" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">view grades and feedback regardless of the release conditions</a> that might otherwise hide an assessment in a course.<span> </span><span> </span>
    </li>
    </ul>
    <div><strong>Assessment &amp; Grading Enhancements</strong></div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Instructors can now select Duplicate to <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47841" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">quickly copy an existing question</a> within a test, assignment, form, or question bank, eliminating the need for manual duplication.</li>
    <li>The default point value for test questions is <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47836" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">reduced from 10 to 1</a>. Any newly created questions will have a default point value of 1. </li>
    <li>The <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47861" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">flexible grading interface now displays</a> a single grade pill to provide a more intuitive grading workflow. A single grade pill improves visibility and efficiency, allows instructors to switch between a student's attempts during grading, and prevents accidental grade overrides.</li>
    <li>The Attempt Log indicates <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47851" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">whether a submission is manual or automatic</a> to provide instructors with deeper insights into student behaviors and better track student progress. </li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><strong>Engagement</strong></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>A new setting enables instructors to <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47856" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">allow anonymous posts in ungraded discussions</a>. Any existing anonymous posts keep their anonymity if the setting is turned off.</li>
    <li>Likert scale questions <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47846" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">support 4 or 6 answer options</a>, allowing for greater granularity in student responses.</li>
    </ul>
    <div><strong>Content Improvements</strong></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Instructors can <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47931" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">change the due date and availability</a> (Show On and Hide After) for any item using the Batch Edit tools.</li>
    <li>Learning module <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47821" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">navigation bar remains visible</a> to students as they scroll vertically through content.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>
    <span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/instructional-technology/posts/139340" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Last month's update</a> to the AI Course Design Assistant featured </span><a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47636" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">a context picker for test question generation</a><span>, allowing instructors to select content in a course to inform AI generation of test questions. In April, <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47816" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the context picker is extended to other generation workflows</a> including learning module structures and suggested prompts for assignments, discussions, and journals. For example, instructors can select an Ultra document or file attachment and the AI Course Design Assistant will scan the resource before generating a proposed output. In the case of a syllabus, the tools can better propose a structure that aligns to the course schedule by using the instructor's existing content. All AI tools are optional and only available to instructors.</span>
