<Title>Gradebook statistics coming to Ultra courses in March</Title>
<Tagline>Additional features include AI enhancements, new settings</Tagline>

    <div>
    <div>In continuous effort to improve the digital learning environment for both faculty and students, the March update to Ultra features several improvements designed to streamline course management, enrich assessment capabilities, and foster a more personalized learning experience. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Reviewing course performance on graded content is now easier than ever with the introduction of <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47661" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Gradebook Item Statistics</a>.<span> Instructors can select a column in the gradebook to access summary statistics for any graded item. The statistics page displays key metrics such as m</span><span>inimum and maximum value; range, a</span><span>verage, me</span><span>dian, s</span><span>tandard deviation, and v</span><span>ariance. </span><span>The number of submissions requiring grading and the distribution of grades also displays.</span>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>

These are accessed from the gradebook column in grid or list view" width="500" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>

    <em>Image 1:</em><em> Example of the gradebook item statistics. These are accessed from the gradebook item in grid or list view.</em>

    <div>
    <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/instructional-technology/posts/134605" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Introduced last year</a>, the AI Course Design Assistant provides instructors with helpful tools to create organizational structures, rubrics, and test questions. In the March update, the AI Design Assistant incorporates <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47636" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">a context picker for test question generation</a>. Instructors can now select specific course content items to help the AI create questions. This option improves the alignment of generated questions to course content.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Flexibility in Ultra course management is further enhanced with <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47646" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the No Due Date assessment setting</a>. In some scenarios, such as self-paced learning, an instructor may not want to apply a due date. Recognizing the diverse needs and schedules of students, this feature allows instructors to create assessments without strict deadlines. </div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Additional Updates</span></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>
    <span>A number indicator will appear next to the announcement tab in the course to <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47651" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">indicate the number of unread announcements available</a>. </span><span>Users can also mark announcements as read or unread when announcements pop-up or from the Announcements page.</span>
    </li>
    <li>
    <span>Instructors can <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47641" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">align goals to journals</a> to ensure that the activity measures the desired learning outcomes. </span><span>Instructors can also align goals to assignments, tests (including individual questions and </span><span>questions</span><span> in banks), discussions, rubric criterion, files, web links, and documents.</span>
    </li>
    <li><span>In flexible grading, instructors can <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/node/47656" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">collapse or expand</a> the left panel (student cards) and right panel (feedback and rubrics). To provide a better user experience, the last used state is now preserved in the browser.</span></li>
    <li><span>In Original courses, instructors can create text schemas that are currently unsupported in the Ultra course view. When converting courses, text schemas convert to a points schema. After conversion to Ultra, instructors can create and apply an alternate schema if desired.</span></li>
    </ul></div>
    </div>
    </div></div></div>
    <div>
    <div><div><div><div><span><div>
    <span>Faculty should see the latest updates in Ultra courses around March 7-8, 2024. </span><span>The next update to our Ultra test environment will take place on March 12, 2024; release notes are posted to the <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/LohnB" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">What's New in Ultra</a> that same week. Faculty who are interested in test driving new features before they are released to production should </span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/request-help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">open an RT ticket</a> to request early access. Please <a href="http://umbc.edu/go/ultra" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">watch the FAQs</a>, including <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/LohnB" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the What's New with Ultra page</a>, <span>and myUMBC for additional information about Ultra. </span>

Dr. Shuman explains, "These ongoing LEAP acquisitions will extend our understanding of multiple polar systems by augmenting Landsat's 50+ year-long record of Earth observations. By extending Landsat views through periods of polar darkness, new insights on cryospheric processes will be developed." </div>

    <p>Undergraduate
     Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) features research, 
    scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. 
    Student work is shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic 
    exhibits, performances, and film. Over 300 presenters participate 
    annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research,
     or research that is part of the mentor's on-going projects. They are 
    from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, 
    part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated. This 
    campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC's commitment to the 
    twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.</p>
    <p>All
     current undergraduates who have conducted research, scholarship or 
    creative work in the last year may apply to present their results at 
    URCAD. Mentors, fellow students, friends, family members, high school 
    teachers and students, graduate school recruiters, and the general 
    public are invited to attend.</p>

    <p>Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) features research, scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. Student work is shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic exhibits, performances, and film. Over 300 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor's on-going projects. They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated. This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC's commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.</p>
    <p>All current undergraduates who have conducted research, scholarship or creative work in the last year may apply to present their results at URCAD. Mentors, fellow students, friends, family members, high school teachers and students, graduate school recruiters, and the general public are invited to attend.</p>
