A core feature in an Original Blackboard course, Student Preview is used by faculty to review the content and tool functionality in a virtual environment before releasing to students -- and it is coming to Ultra courses in May.

Instructors can also import question banks exported from Original courses and publisher-created test banks to their Ultra courses. Once imported, these questions are available for immediate use and reuse across all assessments in the Ultra course. As with any conversion from Original to Ultra, question types that are not yet supported are dropped during the processing of the imported file.

Other enhancements coming to Ultra on May 3 include:

  • Instructors can leave feedback for individual group members and for the group as a whole for a graded activity

  • The link to the Course Room will be renamed to Blackboard Collaborate

Initially deployed to Ultra courses in SP2019, the new accessibility tool Ally will be available to all new courses beginning with summer 2019. Ally automatically scans course content and performs a series of steps to make that content more accessible. Ally is one part of a broad investment to support accessibility, hybrid and online learning, and instructional technology in DoIT. Moreover, this strategic investment extends the timeline for Ultra and provides a $100 stipend to faculty to convert a course to Ultra.

While many features released each month benefit Ultra courses, all users can now share Blackboard calendars with external calendar services such as Google.

The next update will be posted to our test site around May 14th and pushed to production around June 6th. Faculty who are interested in test driving new features before they are released to production should open an RT ticket to request early access.

As always, if you have any questions, please consider the following options:

Blackboard course shells for SU2019 were created on April 26, 2019.

The Ultra Course Preview setting is again enabled in SU2019 courses to allow faculty adoption. The Ultra Course Preview tool allows faculty to convert an existing Original course and see what it looks like in Ultra. Blackboard provides a conversion log with a list of Original features and functions that change in Ultra or those that won't carry forward if you choose to convert the course to Ultra. Faculty may also choose to use the Ultra Course Preview sandbox, which was provided earlier in the FA2018 semester, to review a course or develop one in Ultra.

The new accessibility tool Ally is also enabled in all new course shells starting with SU2019. Ally automatically scans uploaded and created course content, then performs a series of steps to make that content more accessible. Please review the Ally FAQs for more information about the accessibility indicators on course content and alternative formats, or sign up for an Ally orientation session.

About Course Creation

Bb shells for SU2019 are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there is an instructor of record listed. As new course sections and/or instructors are added to the SOC by Department Scheduling Coordinators, corresponding Bb shells are automatically generated overnight. 

Instructors who teach multiple sections of the same course will find those enrollments merged into one Bb course shell. These sections may be split upon request by an RT ticket, which we recommend submitting at least one week before the semester starts, if not as soon as courses are created in Blackboard.

Student enrollment in Bb mirrors the official registration in SA and updates hourly. However, courses are not accessible to students by default until the instructor of record makes them available.

Kyle Shokeye, Complex, May 1 2019

“In its most recent study, the Hope Center for College Community and Justice at Temple University polled 86,000 students from 123 colleges. 

 

The study found that 45 percent of students experienced "food insecurity," which is defined as "limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food, or the ability to acquire such food in a socially acceptable manner." This includes skipping meals and experiencing hunger due to lack of funds.

 

Working during college is not associated with a lower risk of basic needs insecurity, and neither is receiving the federal Pell Grant; the latter is in fact associated with higher rates of basic needs insecurity. The survey reported that, of those who experience food insecurity, over two-thirds of them are employed.”

 

As national averages of food insecurity increase each year, Retriever Essentials continues to believe that food insecurity undermines academic success. Join our fight to tackle food insecurity in our UMBC students so that they can not only live more comfortably, but show up to class well prepared in a holistic manner.

 

We encourage you to have conversations with your coworkers around basic needs insecurities among college students, not only here at UMBC but across the nation. What can you do to better support struggling students? If you’re interested in learning more, and how you can get connected to Retriever Essentials, please email us at retrieveressentials@umbc.edu!
